Summary

The RAPTURE Study will determine whether dual chamber defibrillators with atrial prevention and termination therapies, minimized ventricular pacing, and remote monitoring will reduce the rate of inappropriate shocks and improve quality of life compared to optimally programmed back-up pacing only single chamber ICDs when used for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Candidates for ICD for primary prevention according to American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guidelines who have a clinical indication for ICD implantation for ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death prevention.
  • The ability to understand the scope of the study, provide written informed consent, and a willingness to complete all study visits and associated procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Pregnant women
  • Age <18 years old
  • Inability to provide consent
  • On a heart transplant waiting list
  • Life expectancy <1 year
  • Indication for pacing
  • Atrioventricular (AV) node ablation
  • Permanent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
  • Indication for cardiac resynchronization
  • Preexisting, separate pacemaker pulse generator that won't be explanted
  • Intra-aortic balloon pump or other device
  • Inotropic drug (not digitalis) necessary for hemodynamic support
  • Chronic serious bacterial infection
  • Inability to receive pectoral non-thoracotomy lead ICD
  • Inability to program device according to protocol
  • History of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) or sustained Ventricular Tachycardia as an indication for ICD (secondary prevention indication)
