Background—It has been reported that triphasic defibrillation waveforms cause less myocardial injury than biphasic waveforms. This study compared the defibrillation thresholds (DFTs) of triphasic and ...

However, this can be achieved with a triphasic waveform. We tested the hypotheses that a triphasic waveform with the first and third phases with the RV electrode as anode defibrillated more ...
