Abstract
This study is a prospective, randomized comparison of monophasic and biphasic defibrillation thresholds in 19 patients with a single transvenous lead. Despite using reverse polarity and optimal tilts for the monophasic waveform, the defibrillation threshold was reduced with biphasic shocks from 15.8 +/- 11.3 to 11.5 +/- 6.1 (p <0.05) with comparable reductions of leading edge voltage and current.Entities:
