title: Low-energy defibrillation with multi-electrodes stimulation: A simulation study.
abstract: The objective of this study is to explore the possible ways to reduce defibrillation energy and further reveal the mechanism of electric defibrillation. A bidomain simulation study was performed on a rabbit whole-ventricle electrophysiological model and the feasibility of the defibrillation strategy with multi-electrodes stimulation was verified. Simulation results indicate that the new approach is effective in low-energy defibrillation.
