Abstract Synopsis
- The study found that programming implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) with high-rate or delayed therapy settings significantly reduced inappropriate shocks and pacing, leading to lower mortality rates compared to conventional programming.
- Over an average follow-up of 14 years, both high-rate and delayed programming approaches showed hazard ratios of about 0.21 to 0.56 for inappropriate therapy and 0.45 to 0.56 for overall death, indicating substantial benefits.
- There were no notable differences in procedure-related adverse events between the different programming strategies, suggesting these methods are both effective and safe.
