Ventricular tachyarrhythmia therapy is for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), rhythms that are associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD). Cardiac resynchronization therapy is for the treatment of heart failure (HF) and uses biventricular electrical stimulation to synchronize ventricular contractions. Cardioversion/defibrillation therapies include a range of low- and high-energy shocks using either a biphasic or monophasic waveform.
