Association of device detected atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmia with adverse events in patients with an implantable cardioverter ‐defibrillator

ConclusionOur findings from a large cohort of ICD recipients enrolled in landmark clinical trials show that device detected AF and VT/VF can be used to identify patients with increased risk for CHF exacerbation and mortality. These findings suggest a need for early intervention in CHF patients who develop device-detected atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
