Abstract:
The defibrillation thresholds of both first-phase polarities of a biphasic waveform were tested using an endocardial defibrillation electrode system. Despite differences in defibrillation thresholds in the individual patient, both tested electrode polarities lead to a comparable overall defibrillation efficacy.
