London, ON - Defibrillation-threshold (DFT) testing performed on a routine basis at ICD implantation is unlikely to significantly affect one- or five-year mortality, according to a statistical ...

Objective: This study was designed to test defibrillation threshold (DFT) with the least number of fibrillation inductions using upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) and to describe the most practical ...

Defibrillation testing during implantation of cardioverter–defibrillators is controversial because of potential safety concerns and a lack of evidence for the effectiveness of the procedure. New data ...
