Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary aim of this investigation?

"The aim of this 3 year clinical trial is to reduce the amount of sustained ventricular tachycardia below a level that cannot be detected by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Secondary objectives include tracking changes in antiarrhythmic drug dosages due to efficacy or side effects, monitoring the total number of arrhythmias events over time, and measuring appropriate ATP from ICDs." - Anonymous Online Contributor
