Abstract

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are typically programed with multiple treatment zones and discriminators to minimize inappropriate therapies for supraventricular tachycardia while still delivering life saving therapies for ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF). Biotronik ICDs freeze the VT counters when tachycardia is in the VF zone due to lack of discriminators in the VF zone, which may result in an inappropriate delay in tachycardia detection.
