Current Primary Outcome Measures |
Change in Shock Reduction Programming Adoption [ Time Frame: Overall study (20 months on average) ] Change in percentage of subjects programmed to evidence-based target from baseline (pre-TPR distribution) to last follow-up (post-TPR distribution).
Shock-reduction programming parameters:
LIA (Lead Integrity Alert): Uploadable algorithm with the ability to increase the time between a lead fracture and potential delivery of an unnecessary shock.
SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) Limit: The maximum cycle length that Wavelet and PR logic will be applied to arrhythmias.
VF NID PP: Number of intervals to detect (NID) an arrhythmia in the VF zone for primary prevention (PP) patients.
VF NID SP: Number of intervals to detect (NID) an arrhythmia in the VF zone for secondary prevention (SP) patients.
Wavelet: Discriminator to help determine if arrhythmia is ventricular or supraventricular in single chamber ICDs.
PR Logic: Discriminator to help determine if arrhythmia is ventricular or supraventricular in dual chamber ICDs and CRT-Ds.

Brief Summary | The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether periodic therapy programming reports illustrating physician usage of shock reduction programming can increase utilization of recommended programming guidelines for defibrillators. | |||
Detailed Description | Shocks delivered to patients by defibrillators, while life-saving, can create anxiety, pain and decrease quality of life. Previous studies have shown that device programming and features can safely reduce the number of shocks patients receive. This study will explore the extent to which physicians use these programming and features. It will determine whether repeat and frequent awareness to how they program their own subjects and the programming trends of all enrolled subjects will change their programming patterns. This will be accomplished by understanding physicians' device programming behaviors and providing reports as a tool to help physicians manage their subjects and provide shock reduction programming recommended by previous publications. | |||
