<br/><br/> Defibrillation Threshold Testing (DFT ) testing is a lengthy potentially painful and a hazardous process . Little information is available concerning the identification of patients with high DFT who undergo ICD implantation with transvenous leads . Patints with predicted low DFT may be eligible for abbreviated ICD testing but high - risk patients who require multiple shocks may require general anesthesia for patient comfort
