1. A method for determining an implantation configuration capable of exceeding a predetermined defibrillation threshold for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to be implanted into a patient, said method comprising the steps of:

  • accessing predictive information correlating ICD implantation configurations with corresponding defibrillation thresholds for a population of patients;

    determining a particular defibrillation threshold for the patient; and

    automatically determining an implantation configuration capable of providing defibrillation pulses exceeding the particular defibrillation threshold based on the particular defibrillation threshold for the patient in combination with the information correlating ICD implantation configurations with corresponding defibrillation thresholds.
