1. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving sensor data;
determining relative strengths of sensor data as received by different electrodes or other sensors;
determining, based at least on the sensor data, an initial set of electrodes on a lead including more than two defibrillation electrodes, from which to deliver a defibrillation pulse, wherein the initial set of electrodes is determined to be most directed towards the heart based on the relative strengths of the sensor data;
delivering the defibrillation pulse with the initial set of electrodes;
receiving post-delivery sensor data;
determining, based at least on the post-delivery sensor data whether the defibrillation pulse successfully defibrillated the patient; and
if necessary, determining an updated set of electrodes from which to deliver a subsequent defibrillation pulse.
