Shock pain has limited the acceptance of the implantable atrial cardioverter and is a complication of ventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy. Rounding off of the peak of a shock waveform reduces pain. Whether the pain reduction results from reduction in the peak voltage or from the rounding has not been established. In other words, does reducing the extreme dV/dt (voltage derivative) of the conventional truncated exponential capacitive discharge waveform reduce pain?
