Key result
Proper sensing and detection functions in implantable cardioverter defibrillators are essential to avoid inappropriate therapy or withholding of therapy, which can lead to sudden cardiac death.
Why the study?
Defective ICD sensing can cause inappropriate shock delivery or failure to treat ventricular arrhythmias, which may lead to sudden cardiac death.
Proper understanding and programming of ICD sensing and detection parameters are crucial to prevent inappropriate shocks or failure to treat life-threatening arrhythmias.

Accurate ICD sensing is vital to prevent inappropriate or missed therapies; leaves open optimal programming strategies for varied scenarios.
Antoine Kossaify (2020) conducted a review in Sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) sensing and detection functions was evaluated. Proper sensing and detection functions in implantable cardioverter defibrillators are essential to avoid inappropriate therapy or withholding of therapy, which can lead to sudden cardiac death.
