May inform transvenous vector selection for atrial defibrillation; leaves optimal configurations open pending prospective trials.
Which transvenous electrode locations provide the lowest energy thresholds for atrial defibrillation?
For atrial defibrillation, transvenous electrode systems confining the electric field between the right and left atrium (e.g., distal great cardiac vein to right atrium) optimize energy thresholds.
Alferness et al. (1994) studied this question.
