Detection of Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter by a Dual-Chamber Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

Structured PICO

Does a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator accurately detect atrial fibrillation and flutter?

Intervention

Dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)

Outcome

Detection of atrial fibrillation and flutter (AT/AF)surrogate

A dual-chamber ICD can accurately detect and discriminate between atrial tachycardia and atrial fibrillation, enabling targeted pacing therapies.

Abstract

A new ICD detects AT/AF accurately and continuously. Therapy may be programmed for long-duration AT/AF, with a low risk of underdetection. Discrimination of AT from AF permits successful pacing therapy for a significant fraction of AT.
