Antitachycardia pacing and low energy cardioversion terminated episodes of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation and prevented extrasystoles in patients with acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and long QT syndrome. Low energy automatic defibrillation was used in 25 patients intraoperatively and during the early postoperative period. The Soviet prototype of an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator [ICAR‐D] detects the arrhythmia automatically and delivers selectively an electrical impulse to the heart: 2.5–4 J for VT and 15–20 J for VF. In addition, the effectiveness of ICARD was studied in chronical experiments in 10 dogs with follow‐up of 4–6 months.
