Evaluation of defibrillation safety and shock reduction in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients with increased time to detection: A randomized SANKS study

Evaluation of defibrillation safety and shock reduction in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients with increased time to detection: A randomized SANKS study

Background: The need for ways to minimize the number of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks is increasing owing to the risk of its adverse effects on life expectancy. Studies have shown that a longer detection time for ventricular tachyarrhythmia reduces the safety of therapies, in t...
