Which risk increases when a defibrillator's capacitance degrades?

💡 Explanation

Capacitance degradation reduces stored charge, therefore delivered energy reduces to the heart due to lower effective charge during defibrillation via *capacitive discharge*, rather than changing impedance which affect conduction differently.
