Abstract
Wearable, automatic external, and implantable defibrillators, as well as methods of operation in such systems, are disclosed with shock delivery mitigations to avoid delivering a defibrillation shock on a T-wave. Prior to issuance of a defibrillation shock, one or more detected cardiac events are analyzed to characterize a detected event that is sensed for purposes of synchronizing the defibrillation shock. The detected event can be characterized as an R-wave or a T-wave, and the shock delivery protocol is then selected based on the characterization of the detected event to avoid shock-on-T and potential pro-arrhythmia.
