Comparison of the defibrillation threshold and the upper limit of ventricular vulnerability
1986
Circulation
To examine the relationship between the defibrillation threshold and the strength of shocks that induce ventricular fibrillation during the vulnerable period, we determined the defibrillation threshold in 22 open-chest dogs using epicardial defibrillation electrodes with the cathode at the ventricular apex and the anode at the right atrium. We also determined whether there was an upper limit of shock strength that induces fibrillation in the vulnerable period by giving shocks of various energy
