Objectives: Our purpose was to demonstrate that strategically chosen implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) …

ICD Programming for Shock Reduction Background Shock therapy delivery by implantable
cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICD) can be painful and may have adverse consequences …

Objectives: The purpose of this randomized study was to determine whether a strategically
chosen standardized set of programmable settings is at least as effective as physician …

Background—Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in primary and
secondary prevention. Quality of life, mortality, appropriate therapies for specific ventricular …

Background The implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is highly effective in reducing
mortality among patients at risk for fatal arrhythmias, but inappropriate ICD activations are …

Background—Patients who receive implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapies are at
higher risk of death versus those who do not. Programmed settings to reduce nonessential …

Background The benefits of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have been well
demonstrated in many clinical trials, and ICD shocks for ventricular tachyarrhythmias save …

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare rate-only detection to enhanced
detection in a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), to discriminate …

Aims To investigate the efficacy and safety of a cardiac resynchronization therapy with
cardioverter–defibrillator (CRT-D) device with simplified ventricular tachycardia …

Importance Using more intervals to detect ventricular tachyarrhythmias has been associated
with reducing unnecessary implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies. Objective …
