Method of and apparatus for atrial and ventricular defibrillation or cardioversion with an electrical waveform optimized in the frequency domain

摘要

An apparatus having a discharging energy source, two electrodes adapted to make electrical contact with a patient, a connecting mechanism forming an electrical circuit between the energy source and the electrodes and a controller operating the connecting mechanism. The apparatus delivers electrical energy from the energy source to the electrodes having a waveform optimized in the frequency domain to have a dominant frequency in a preset range.
