Abstract:
For implantable cardioverter defibrillator a 10 J safety margin between the defibrillation threshold (DFT) and the maximum output of the device is intended. In complex cases, the additional placement of a subcutaneous array lead is a common strategy for lowering the DFT. We report the successful use of transvenous coil electrodes as single element subcutaneous array leads in order to lower the DFT.

Electrodes: Overview
There are two main types of electrodes in electrochemical cells. The first type, known as the working or indicator electrode, has a potential that is sensitive to the analyte's concentration and reacts to changes in the...
