Abstract:
An exemplary method includes detecting ventricular fibrillation, delivering a low voltage cardiac stimulus, determining whether the low voltage cardiac stimulus terminated the ventricular fibrillation, and delivering a higher voltage cardiac stimulus if the low voltage cardiac stimulus did not terminate the ventricular fibrillation. In one example, the delivering the low voltage cardiac stimulus occurs within approximately 10 event intervals from the detected onset of ventricular fibrillation; otherwise, delivery of an appropriate higher voltage cardiac stimulus occurs. Other exemplary methods, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed.
