A catheter system has been proposed in which voltages of different polarities are applied to the first electrode group and the second electrode group (see Patent Document 1 below).

According to this intracardiac defibrillation catheter system, it is possible to reliably supply the necessary and sufficient electrical energy for defibrillation to the heart with atrial fibrillation or the like during cardiac catheterization. Moreover, when defibrillation therapy is not required, the defibrillation catheter that constitutes the catheter system can be used as an electrode catheter for cardiac potential measurement.

In the defibrillation treatment using the intracardiac defibrillation catheter system described in Patent Document 1, by inputting the mode changeover switch of the power supply in the "electrocardiographic measurement mode", the mode of the power supply is set for a certain period of time ( for example for 1 second) to switch to "defibrillation mode". During this time, the impedance between the first and second electrodes of the defibrillation catheter is measured. After that, by inputting the applied energy setting switch to set the electrical energy to be applied when performing defibrillation, and inputting the charge switch, the voltage determined based on the measured impedance and the set electrical energy is charged to the DC power supply.

When the occurrence of an abnormal wave height event is detected before the switch is input, this event (V _n ) is detected only when the event (V _n ) is sensed after a certain waiting time has passed since the occurrence of the abnormal wave height event. Since the arithmetic processing unit of the power supply controls the DC power supply unit so that the voltage is applied in synchronization with the , avoid applying voltage to the electrodes of the defibrillation catheter, and apply a DC voltage to the electrodes of the defibrillation catheter in synchronization with the R wave of the electrocardiogram when the baseline is stable. defibrillation can be performed.
