The following list includes a number of available references on biphasic technology. We encourage you to visit Why SMART Biphasic? for summaries and commentaries on some of these key studies, and to learn what sets SMART Biphasic apart from the rest. We will also continue to update these references, so consider us your resource for biphasic research.  Bardy, GH, Gilner BE, Kudenchuk PJ, et al.
