ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cardioversion and defibrillation. The apparatus is provided with two pairs of cardioversion or defibrillation electrodes, and delivers pulses sequentially between said first and second pairs of electrodes, such that the first pulse overlaps the second pulse for a time interval of at least about one millisecond. During the overlap time of the first and second pulses, a defibrillation pulse vector intermediate that defined by the two electrode pairs individually is provided.
