Abstract:
1. An electrotherapy device for treating arrhythmia in a patient, the device comprising: a patient interface including: electrotherapy circuitry operatively coupled to the patient interface and including a medium voltage therapy (MVT) pulse generator adapted to supply the MVT via the patient interface as a configurable waveform having a set of adjustable waveform parameters, wherein the waveform is defined by series of pulse trains having an adjustable train repetition rate, the pulse trains being composed of pulses having an adjustable pulse width, an adjustable pulse period, and an adjustable pulse amplitude, the MVT being of an energy level insufficient to shock the heart into a reset state; patient monitoring circuitry including: a controller operatively coupled to the patient monitoring circuitry and the electrotherapy circuitry, and configured to:
