ABSTRACT:
A main energy delivery electrical circuit for use in an implantable cardioverter defibrillator device comprises a low power output primary defibrillator battery, a high power output intermediate power intensifying capacitor system, a switch for permitting the intermediate power intensifying capacitor system to rapidly charge a main energy delivery capacitor, and a main energy delivery capacitor. The main energy delivery capacitor is configured for discharging, in a first pulse, an electrical charge derived from the primary battery, and for discharging certain subsequent pulses of electrical charge derived from the intermediate power intensifying capacitor system. The circuit permits the implantable cardioverter defibrillator device to deliver multiple closely spaced defibrillation pulses to a heart.
