Validating Defibrillation Simulation in a Human-Shaped Phantom

We previously developed a computational model to aid clinicians in positioning implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), especially in the case of abnormal anatomies that commonly arise in pediatric cases. We have validated the model clinically on the body surface; however, validation within the volume of the heart is required to establish complete confidence in the model and improve its use in clinical settings.
