    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Computational Electrophysiology
    • Cardiovascular Research

    Background:

    • Defibrillation efficacy is critically dependent on cardiac potential gradient distribution.
    • Optimal electrode configurations for effective defibrillation remain undetermined.
    • Existing methods often require high energy, increasing risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the optimal electrode configuration for effective defibrillation.
    • To evaluate a novel SCAN protocol using multiple epicardial electrodes (MEE).
    • To assess the impact of electrode configuration on defibrillation energy and efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a rabbit ventricular finite element conductor model with blood perfusion.
    • Defined successful defibrillation threshold (DFT) as 95% myocardial volume potential gradient > 5 V/cm.
    • Compared MEE protocols against a traditional current path and a SCAN protocol.

    Main Results:

    • The SCAN protocol dramatically reduced DFT energy to 4.3% of the control group.
    • Rapidly switching scanning stimuli using MEE pairs proved effective.
    • Electrode pair distribution significantly influences defibrillation efficacy; counteraction effects are detrimental.

    Conclusions:

    • The SCAN protocol represents a promising low-energy defibrillation method.
    • Optimizing electrode pair distribution is crucial for enhancing defibrillation efficacy.
    • Findings offer valuable insights for clinical applications of defibrillation technology.
