ABSTRACT:
A heart defibrillator includes a defibrillation circuit for delivering defibrillation pulses. The defibrillation circuit also emits a pre-pulse before the defibrillation pulse. The pre-pulse is not as intense as the defibrillation pulse, but is still intense enough to induce mechanical contraction of muscles in parts of the thorax and possibly the heart.
