Clinical Comparison of ICD Detection Algorithms that Include Rapid‐VT Zones

Abstract

The Boston Scientific multizone VT/VF discrimination algorithm results in a prolonged time to VF detection, and consequently, prolonged time to appropriate initiation of device charging. Further studies are needed to determine whether prolonged detection times lead to clinically significant events.

Impact of remote monitoring on the management of arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator

“…Differences in the detection algorithms may have relevant clinical impact. 25 However, all ICD programming was optimized by the physician as usual in current daily practice.…”
