Importance Using more intervals to detect ventricular tachyarrhythmias has been associated
with reducing unnecessary implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies. Objective
To determine whether using 30 of 40 intervals to detect ventricular arrhythmias (VT)(long
detection) during spontaneous fast VT episodes reduces antitachycardia pacing (ATP) and
shock delivery more than 18 of 24 intervals (standard detection). Design, Setting, and
Participants Randomized, single-blind, parallel-group trial that enrolled 1902 primary and …
