摘要: An implantable cardiac defibrillation assembly includes at least one lead having a electrode adapted for placement in chamber of the heart. The connector. further an device pulse generator that provides pulses and is configured to receive connector couple generator. system evaluates conditions provide therapy heart without requiring arrhythmia induction may condition by reforming output capacitor evaluate DC resistance, R wave sensing detection. In addition, estimate thresholds electrical fields setting voltage above estimated threshold. All foregoing be accomplished inducing ventricular fibrillation.
