Key result
The abstract is truncated before reporting the quantitative effects of epicardial patch electrodes on transthoracic defibrillation threshold in dogs.

Truncated reporting leaves epicardial patch effects on defibrillation thresholds unresolved in dogs; hypothesis-generating for human device safety.
Does the implantation of epicardial patch electrodes increase transthoracic defibrillation threshold in mongrel dogs?
This preclinical study investigates whether the presence, size, and orientation of silicone-insulated epicardial patch electrodes increase transthoracic defibrillation thresholds.
Lerman et al. (1990) studied Transthoracic defibrillation threshold (n=22). Epicardial patch electrodes was evaluated on Transthoracic defibrillation threshold (DFT). The abstract is truncated before reporting the quantitative effects of epicardial patch electrodes on transthoracic defibrillation threshold in dogs.
