Biphasic waveform anti-bradycardia pacing for a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
First Claim
1. A power supply for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for subcutaneous positioning between the third rib and the twelfth rib and using a lead system that does not directly contact a patient'"'"'s heart or reside in the intrathorasic blood vessels and for providing anti-bradycardia pacing energy to the heart, the power supply comprising:
- a capacitor subsystem for storing the anti-bradycardia pacing energy for delivery to the patient'"'"'s heart; and
a battery subsystem electrically coupled to the capacitor subsystem for providing the anti-bradycardia pacing energy to the capacitor subsystem.
