In this episode, we review the key aspects of ICD therapies. What are typical thresholds for a VT monitor zone, regular VT zone, fast VT zone, and VF zone? How is the number of intervals to detect (NID) defined deterministically vs probabilistically for VT vs VF detection? What is a typical rate and interval decrement for anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP)? What is the difference between a burst and a ramp of ATP? What do the B>AX, B>X, and B>A vectors for ICD shock describe? What are strategies for reducing inappropriate shocks? When is it appropriate to use a subcutaneous ICD or a wearable ICD? Tune in for answers to these questions.
