Abstract
A defibrillation insulating device prevents current from directly shunting through the blood pool from the right ventricular defibrillation electrode to a superior vena cava electrode and vice versa. This forces current to flow through the heart muscle, thus increasing the current density throughout the heart, to depolarize the majority of the cardiac tissue with a minimum of energy.
