Antitachycardia pacing programming in implantable cardioverter defibrillator: A systematic review

Table 1 EMPRIC programming

Detection	Threshold (bpm)	Beats to detect	Therapies
VF	250	18 out of 24	30 J × 6
FVT	200	18 out of 24	1 × burst, 30 J × 5
VT	150	16	2 × burst, 1 × ramp, 30 J × 3

Burst: 8 impulses coupled at the 88% with 20 ms decrement; Ramp: 8 intervals coupled at the 81% with 10 ms decrement. VF: Ventricular fibrillation; FVT: Fast ventricular tachycardia; VT: Ventricular tachycardia.

Table 2 PREPARE programming

Detection	Threshold (bpm)	Beats to detect	Therapies
VF	250	18 out of 24	30 J/35 J × 6
FVT	182	18 out of 24	1 × Burst, 30 J/35 J × 6
VT	167	32	Off

Burst: 8 impulses coupled at the 88%. VF: Ventricular fibrillation; FVT: Fast ventricular tachycardia; VT: Ventricular tachycardia.
