Key result
Delayed ICD detection programming is linked to fewer unnecessary and inappropriate therapies versus standard intervals.
Why the study?
Do long detection intervals for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators reduce hospitalizations and costs compared to standard detection intervals?

Supports delayed detection ICD programming to cut unnecessary therapies; extends randomized evidence on device settings.
The role of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in reducing sudden and overall mortality is established.1 Recently, an ICD programming strategy that allows delayed detection of arrhythmias was shown to reduce unnecessary and inappropriate therapies.2,3
