TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically describe the >80% (83-100%, mean: 96%) required consensus achieved for each recommendation by official balloting in regard to the programming of bradycardia mode and rate, detection, tachycardia therapy, and intraprocedural testing of defibrillation efficacy.

TL;DR: This document systematically describes the >80% (83–100%, mean: 96%) required consensus achieved for each recommendation by official balloting in regard to the programming of (i) bradycardia mode and rate, (ii) tachycardia detection, (iii) tachedcardia therapy, and (iv) the intraprocedural testing of defibrillation efficacy.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-chamber ICD is implanted and dual chamber discrimination should be programmed only if the atrial lead becomes chronic or if atrial sensing is reliable.
