Is Defibrillation Testing Necessary for Implantable Transvenous Defibrillators? [PDF]
Clinical trials have documented the efficacy of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for the primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.1–7 These trials have typically involved induction of ventricular fibrillation (VF) at the time of implantation to demonstrate effective arrhythmia termination.
