Genesis of sigmoidal dose-response curve during defibrillation by random shock: a theoretical model based on experimental evidence for a vulnerable window during ventricular fibrillation.

The sigmoidal dose-response curve (percent success vs shock energy) suggests a probabilistic nature of defibrillation. The mechanism is still largely unknown, however, random variation in the excitable state during ventricular fibrillation (VF) is suspected. A canine defibrillation study was designe...
