Abstract
Igor V. Venin since 1966 and up till now has been an outstanding engineer of the Soviet Union and Ukraine, who has dedicated all his life to defibrillators development. Under his guidance 16 models of DC defibrillators with different waveforms, including the world’s first defibrillator with biphasic waveform (1971) have been developed and put into commercial production.
