σl= conductivity along the direction of myocardial fiber, σt= conductivity perpendicular to the direction of myocardial fiber, σ¯= average value of σl and σt, DFT = defibrillation voltage thresholds, POD = Percentage of difference between the DFT of isotropic conductivity and the DFT of anisotropic conductivity. The units of σl, σt and σ¯ are S/m. The information obtained directly from different literatures is 1–4, 6 columns of the table. DFT is obtained by simulation.
