The use of SVT discriminators has a significant role in reducing the rate of inappropriate ICD therapy even in the setting of delayed high-rate detection settings. Deactivating SVT discriminators would have resulted in an overall increase in the inappropriate ICD therapy rate by 63% and 524% with and without delayed high-rate detection programming, respectively.
