Gasparini La gestione di un paziente con ICD: come evitare gli shock inappropriati e prolungare la sopravvivenza del paziente Take home message ADVANCE III/ MADIT RIT a) In primary prevention VT< 180 bpm therapy always OFF b) high % of self terminating Fast VT/VF! longer Fast VT/VF detection window c) efficacy of ATP in fast VT d) VF cut off! should be programmed > 240 bpm

4 ICD programming! Even if life-saving, ICD shocks may be painful! " QOL! To improve QOL! " " /abolish inappropriate shocks! " " / abolish unnecessary shocks 2 strategies! on NSVT/VF! on VT suitable for ATP 1. ATP therapy 2. Correct detection window Consistent % of ventricular arrhythmias are self-terminating! (Painfree II 2004, Relevant 2009 ) ~70% of VT/fast VT interrupted by ATP without increased syncope or mortality (Painfree II 2004)
