Key result
Trial compares VDD-ICD and VVI-ICD for detecting subclinical AF in ICD patients with ~50% risk.
Why the study?
Silent AF carries significant morbidity, mortality, and stroke risk without anticoagulation, and patients with ICDs are at high risk of developing AF.
Population
Patients with ICDs
Comparison
VDD-ICD vs VVI-ICD
Design
Prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial

Shurrab et al. (2024) studied this question. VDD-ICD and VVI-ICD are being compared for detecting subclinical atrial fibrillation in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, who have up to a 50% risk of developing AF.
