Defibrillation Testing During Defibrillator Implantation [PDF]

open access: yesArrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2012
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) terminate ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) with high efficacy. ICDs improve mortality in patients after survived sudden cardiac death (SCD) and in patients at high risk of dying suddenly.
