ABSTRACT A method of defibrillating a heart in fibrillation, includes the steps of detecting the onset of fibrillation of the heart, and applying to the fibrillating heart a multiphasic waveform having at least a first phase and a second phase. Each phase of the waveform is characterized by a predetermined time duration and by a predetermined polarity and magnitude of voltage. The duration of the first phase of the applied waveform is greater than the duration of the second phase. A method of terminating ventricular fibrillation and an implantable defibrillator are also disclosed.
