A method for use with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator apparatus of the type having a microprocessor-based control circuit, a charging circuit communicatively connected to the control circuit, a small charge storage capacitor, a large charge storage capacitor, switches, and charge output terminals, of delivering a preemptory shock to a patient, comprising the steps of a.) receiving physiological information pertaining to the onset of a deleterious cardiac event; b.) charging the small charge storage capacitor in the implantable cardioverter defibrillator apparatus immediately after step (a); c.) reviewing the information to confirm the onset of a cardiac event; and d.) delivering a preemptory charge from the small charge storage capacitor to the patient if the onset of a cardiac event is confirmed. An apparatus for practicing the above method is also discussed.
