Enhanced Specificity of a Dual Chamber ICD Arrhythmia Detection Algorithm by Rate Stability Criteria

Inappropriate therapy remains an important limitation of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). PARAD+ was developed to increase the specificity conferred by the original PARAD detection algorithm in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF). To compare the performances of the two different...

Description
Summary:Inappropriate therapy remains an important limitation of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). PARAD+ was developed to increase the specificity conferred by the original PARAD detection algorithm in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF). To compare the performances of the two different algorithms, we retrospectively analyzed all spontaneous and sustained episodes of AF and ventricular tachycardia (VT) documented by state‐of‐the‐art ICDs programmed with PARAD or PARAD+ at the physicians' discretion. The results were stratified according to tachycardia rates
