Late diagnosis of pericardial constriction associated with defibrillator patches and deformation of the left ventricle.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Determination of the optimal electrode configuration during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation remains largely an empirical process. This study investigated the feasibility of using a finite element model of the thorax to predict clinical defibrillation metrics for internal defibrill...
