This review highlights the evolution and future directions of ICD detection algorithms aimed at improving specificity and reducing inappropriate shocks.
New proposals for ICD electrogram analysis merit prospective testing to reduce inappropriate shocks; leaves open real-world performance versus current algorithms.
Presents a review of the evolution of tachycardia fibrillation detection algorithms designed for implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) including those that have been incorporated into first, second, and third generation devices. The major emphasis of this review is an overview of the development of new and innovative means for improved detection in next-generation devices. Time-domain and frequency-domain methods of electrogram analyses are described, limitations are cited and promising new proposals for increased specificity which address the false shock incidence are presented.
