and so the programmed VT cycle number was never reached and therapy was consecutively delayed&#46; Also&#44; since there were already 15 episodes stored in the device&#39;s arrhythmia history&#44; no event was recorded&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since the patient had permanent AF it was decided to change the algorithm criterion to &#8220;Stability&#43;&#47;Acceleration&#8221;&#46;

However&#44; it does not take into account the origin of the acceleration&#44; so there is a risk of misclassifying an SVT with 1&#58;1 conduction in the ventricle as VT&#44; which could lead to the delivery of inappropriate therapies&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We cannot say with certainty what would happen if the VT zone were programmed for less than 50 consecutive cycles&#44;

episodes correctly classified as SVT were noted&#44; corresponding to AF episodes with rapid ventricular rate&#46; However&#44; in the last episode stored the intracardiac electrograms &#40;IEGMs&#41; and the tachograph &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0015">Figure 3</a>&#41; revealed a period suggestive of VT &#40;based on rhythm stability and on the ventricular IEGM&#41;&#46; During this period&#44; the device successively alternated the rhythm classification between SVT&#47;ST and ventricular tachycardia with long cycle length &#40;VTLC&#41;&#44; based on AV association&#46; As seen above&#44; once the rhythm is classified as stable &#40;meaning that in nominal settings at least 75&#37; of the last eight RR intervals are within a 65-ms stability window&#41;&#44; AV conduction is analyzed&#46; The rhythm is considered associated when at least 75&#37; of the total PR intervals from the eight last RR intervals fall in the 65-ms stability window&#46; In the episode described&#44; the device successively alternated the AV association from stable and not associated &#40;VTLC diagnosis&#41; to N&#58;1 association &#40;SVT diagnosis&#41; and 1&#58;1 association &#40;classified as SVT or VT by PARAD&#43;&#44; depending on additional acceleration criteria&#41;&#46;</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Thus&#44; in the case reported&#44; the most probable hypothesis is that due to simultaneous occurrence of VT and AF rhythms&#44; the ongoing rhythm classification &#40;based on AV association&#41; alternated between SVT&#47;ST majority and VT&#47;VTLC majority&#44; and so the programmed VT cycle number was never reached and therapy was consecutively delayed&#46; Also&#44; since there were already 15 episodes stored in the device&#39;s arrhythmia history&#44; no event was recorded&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Since the patient had permanent AF it was decided to change the algorithm criterion to &#8220;Stability&#43;&#47;Acceleration&#8221;&#46; This criterion is based on ventricular intervals only&#59; the algorithm does not take PR association into account&#44; and therefore there is no risk of not treating a VT due to changing PR association&#46; However&#44; it does not take into account the origin of the acceleration&#44; so there is a risk of misclassifying an SVT with 1&#58;1 conduction in the ventricle as VT&#44; which could lead to the delivery of inappropriate therapies&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We cannot say with certainty what would happen if the VT zone were programmed for less than 50 consecutive cycles&#44; but the risk of not delivering appropriate therapy would certainly be lower&#46; However&#44; recent studies have reported fewer inappropriate shocks using a duration of 30 cycles for VT&#44; with no increase in the incidence of syncope or death&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> and in the MADIT-RIT trial &#40;in which AF patients were excluded&#41;&#44;
