Discrimination between ventricular and supraventricular tachycardia by dual chamber cardioverter defibrillators: importance of the atrial sensing function.

Although the addition of atrial sensing in dual chamber ICDs may improve the ability of the device to discriminate between supraventricular (SVT) and ventricular tachycardia (VT), atria! sensing errors may also negatively affect tachycardia classification. This prospective study evaluated the incide...
