AbstractObjectives. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the polarity of the first phase of a biphasic shock affects the defibrillation threshold.Background. The polarity of a monophasic shock has been shown to affect the defibrillation threshold.Methods. A transvenous defibrillation lead with distal and proximal shocking electrodes was used in this study. In 15 consecutive patients, the defibrillation threshold was determined twice using a step-down protocol, in random order: with the distal coil as the anode for the initial phase (anodal biphasic shock) and with the polarity reversed (cathodal biphasic shock). The power to detect a 5.0-J difference in this study is 0.96. These patients were 61 ± 11 years old (mean ± SD), and...
