Summary

The purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the difference in efficacy of two sequences of ATP therapies (burst 15 pulses, 88% versus burst 8 pulses, 88%) during an episode of spontaneous rhythms classified as fast ventricular tachycardia (FVT) via ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients who have a Class I or II A indication for ICD implantation, and thus to promote the "painless" therapy aspect of ICD treatment and improve quality of life outcomes for patients.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • ICD indications (Class I-II A) according to the guidelines (patient with coronary artery disease [CAD] or non-CAD in primary or secondary ICD prevention)
  • Patients have been implanted with a Medtronic Marquis family ICD capable of ATP for FVT via VF

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patient's life expectancy less than 1 year due to a non-cardiac chronic disease
  • Patient on heart transplant list which is expected in < 1 year
  • Patient's age less than 18 years
  • ICD replacements and upgrading (single chamber [SC] ICD® dual chamber [DC] ICD)
  • Unwillingness or inability to provide written informed consent
  • Enrollment in, or intention to participate in, another clinical study during the course of this study
  • Inaccessibility for follow-up at the study center
  • Ventricular tachyarrhythmias associated with reversible causes
  • Brugada syndrome, long QT and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients
  • Other electrical implantable devices (neurostimulators, etc.)
  • Mechanical tricuspid valve
