The implant guiding programmer is configured to automatically determine a defibrillation threshold (DFT) for a particular patient and to further determine an optimal implantation configuration for an implantable cardioverter fibrillator (ICD). In one implementation, to determine the DFT for the patient, the programmer correlates patient specific data with a predictive data base containing DFT information for an entire population of patients. The programmer additionally determines an optimal implantation configuration for the patient, wherein the optimal configuration is one which is capable of exceeding the DFT for the patient using minimal electrical pulse energy.
