The use of a 3.5- or 4.5-ms time constant-based waveforms had lower DFTs when compared to the 2.5-ms waveform. This study suggests that the first defibrillation attempt at implantation should be with 3.5- or 4.5-ms time constant-based waveforms. The 3.5-ms-based waveform trended toward the best choice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
