Effect of Long-Detection Interval vs Standard-Detection Interval for Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators on Antitachycardia Pacing and Shock Delivery
To evaluate the effect of programming a long-detection interval compared with a standard-detection interval on the rates of antitachycardia pacing and shock delivery in recipients of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Randomized clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00617175) comparing long-detection interval programming with standard-detection interval programming in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) recipients.
Evaluates differences in the frequency of appropriate and inappropriate shock delivery and antitachycardia pacing episodes between long-detection and standard-detection interval programming strategies.
