ABSTRACT:
An implantable defibrillator/cardioverter which generates a biphasic defibrillation/cardioversion waveform including a pulse generator comprising two capacitors and a pair of switches for connecting the capacitors in parallel during a first phase and in series during a second phase. The first phase has a small "tilt" between the leading edge voltage and the trailing edge voltage. The second phase has a leading edge voltage which is approximately twice the trailing edge voltage of the first phase.
