Text: During an average follow-up of 1. 4 years, high-rate therapy and delayed ICD therapy, as compared with conventional device programming, were associated with reductions in a first occurrence of inappropriate therapy (hazard ratio with high-rate therapy vs. conventional therapy, 0. 21 ; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 0. 13 to 0. 34 ; P < 0. 001 ; hazard ratio with delayed therapy vs. conventional therapy, 0. 24 ; 95 % CI, 0. 15 to 0. 40 ; P < 0. 001) and reductions in all-cause mortality (hazard ratio with high-rate therapy vs. conventional therapy, 0. 45 ; 95 % CI, 0. 24 to 0. 85 ; P = 0. 01 ; hazard ratio with delayed therapy vs. conventional therapy, 0. 56 ; 95 % CI, 0. 30 to 1. 02 ; P = 0. 06).
