Supports heightened AF surveillance post-ICD; leaves open whether optimized programming reduces inappropriate therapies in observational cohorts.
Observational (n=50)
No
Inappropriate ICD therapies occur in approximately one-fifth of patients, most commonly driven by atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response within the first year of implantation.
Chen et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Ventricular arrhythmias (n=50). Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was evaluated on Incidence and causes of inappropriate detection and therapy by ICDs. Inappropriate detection and therapy occurred in 22% of patients after ICD implantation for ventricular arrhythmias, primarily driven by atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response.
