External defibrillation on an implantable defibrillator [PDF]
To the Editor: Despite the best efforts of healthcare providers, guideline-conform treatment failure is expected to occur, particularly in real-world emergency situations [1]. In the case reported here, a 79-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease and implantation of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) presented to the emergency room with

Is defibrillation testing required for defibrillator implantation?
The assessment of defibrillation (DFT) efficacy has long been the standard of care during defibrillator implantation. To ensure an acceptable DFT safety margin, early defibrillator systems frequently required that the shock polarity and the location, type, or number of electrodes had to be altered.
