PRIMARY
For the Primary Endpoint the Reduction of Ventricular Therapies (ATP and Shocks) Delivered for Treating Fast Spontaneous Arrhythmia Episodes Was Measured.
67.1; 41.9 <0.001 sig
SECONDARY
Evaluate the Percent Reduction in the Number of Shocks Delivered Per Subject for Treating Spontaneous Episodes With a Fast Cycle Length (CL < 320 ms) and for Spontaneous Ventricular Episodes.

Summary

To demonstrate a reduction in the number of ventricular therapies (ATP and Shocks) delivered for treating spontaneous arrhythmia episodes with a fast cycle length (CL≤ 320ms) as a consequence of self-termination and better arrhythmia discrimination due to a greater number of R-R intervals necessary to detect ventricular events.
