A patient-specific measure of defibrillation efficacy that requires a minimum number of ventricular fibrillation (VF) episodes would be valuable for programming implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). The upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) is the weakest shock strength at or above which VF is not induced when a stimulus is delivered during the vulnerable phase of the cardiac cycle. It correlates with the defibrillation threshold (DFT) and can be determined with a single episode of VF. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that ICDs programmed on the basis of the ULV convert spontaneous ICD-detected VF reliably.
