With optimized programming, the rate of inappropriate ventricular tachyarrhythmia detection
is significantly reduced. Particularly the prevention of inappropriate shocks has important …

Background Appropriate ICD programming is the key to prevent inappropriate shock
delivery, that is closely associated to a negative patients' outcome. Methods Review of the …

Novel implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) discrimination algorithms and
programming strategies have significantly reduced the incidence of inappropriate shocks …

Background Approximately 25% of patients who receive an implantable cardioverter-
defibrillator (ICD) to treat ventricular tachyarrhythmias have documented atrial …

Background—Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), the first line of therapy for
preventing sudden cardiac death in high-risk patients, deliver appropriate shocks for …

Background A patient-specific measure of defibrillation efficacy that requires a minimum
number of ventricular fibrillation (VF) episodes would be valuable for programming …

Background This study examines the limitations and complex management problems
associated with the use of tiered-therapy, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) …

The main purpose of ICDs is to abort sudden death by delivering therapy at the moment of
tachycardia. Shocks accomplish this goal but are painful. Alternatively antitachycardia …

The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is accepted as the therapy of choice in
preventing sudden cardiac death. Multiple studies, such as Antiarrhythmics Versus …

Inappropriate shock is a frequently seen clinical problem despite advanced technologies
used in modern implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) devices. Our aim was to …
