   Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach). [1] [2] A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a counter-shock) to the heart.

   Automated external defibrillators (AED) are portable electronic devices designed to analyze the heart rhythm and inform the operator whether defibrillation is required. They are intended for people of the general population with an unknown risk for heart failure and are usually available in public places and first responder ambulances.

   Patients who are relatively older, who need ICD for secondary prevention, or who have concomitant bradycardia requiring pacing, or heart failure requiring cardiac resynchronisation therapy are more suitable for transvenous ICD implantation. An older patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and documented symptomatic ventricular tachycardia is a ...
