Abstract

The performance and behavior of transvenous defibrillation (TVD) electrodes is influenced by their complex characteristics. These include the electrodes´ geometry, surface structure and material. This study describes the experimental and modeling approaches that can be used to better represent electrodes in volume conductor simulations
