An implantable cardioverter having circuitry for generating high energy cardioversion and defibrillation pulses. The output circuitry is so configured that it may provide simultaneous pulse, multiple electrode; sequential pulse, multiple electrode; or single pulse, two electrode defibrillation and/or cardioversion pulse regimens. The output circuitry is configured to allow delivery of energy sequentially from two capacitor banks during sequential pulse regimens and to deliver the energy stored in both capacitor banks simultaneously during simultaneous pulse, multiple electrode and single pulse, two electrode defibrillation pulse regimens. |
