Zusammenfassung:The electrical design challenges for implantable defibrillators are discussed based on the following criteria: device evolution, system architecture, therapy delivery, mid heart activity sensing circuits. The discussion includes the incidence of sudden cardiac death and the clinical requirements of device hardware. System architecture includes the three dependent entities that define the system mid the functional components of the implanted device.
