Abstract:BackgroundCurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) require electric conduction with high voltage and high energy, which can impair cardiac function and induce another malignant arrhythmia. As a result, there has been a demand for an ICD that can effectively operate with lower energy to mitigate the risks of a strong electric shock.MethodsA pair of sheet‐shaped electrodes covering the heart were analyzed in three configurations (top–bottom, left–right, and front–back) using a heart simulator. We a… Show more
