“…9,10 The principle advantage of vulnerability testing is that, when applied in a safety-margin strategy, it can determine that defibrillation is reliable without inducing VF in 80% to 95% of patients. 8,11,12 In contrast, fibrillation-defibrillation testing requires inducing VF with the attendant risks of circulatory arrest in all patients. 13 Until recently, the principle disadvantage of vulnerability testing was that it required accurate, operator-performed timing measurement using multiple surface leads to ensure that the T wave shock is delivered at the most vulnerable interval.…”
