BACKGROUND: Inappropriate shocks from implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) remain a significant clinical problem despite device discrimination algorithms. The atrial response to antitachycardia pacing (ATP) may determine the mechanism of 1:1 A:V tachycardia.
METHODS: For this study we refer to sinus tachycardia, atrial tachycardia (AT), atrial fibrillation, and flutter as atrial tachycardia (AT), and all other tachycardia as "non-AT." Three atrial response patterns during the burst of ATP were determined. The atrial cycle length (ACL) may be unchanged (type 1) indicating AT. The ACL may show variation during ATP (type 2) indicating variable VA block and does not discriminate between an AT and a non-AT mechanism, in which case a default diagnosis of non-AT is made. The ACL may accelerate to the ATP cycle length (type 3) indicating entrainment. A VAAV response at the end of ATP was considered diagnostic of AT (type 3A) whereas a VAV or VVA response was considered a non-AT mechanism (type 3B). This algorithm was applied to ICD tracings from 68 episodes of spontaneous 1:1 A:V tachycardia that had 136 sequences of ATP administered. The rhythm "truth" was determined by consensus of two experienced clinicians.
RESULTS: The algorithm correctly identified AT with a sensitivity of 71.9% (95% CI: 67.1-73.6), and specificity of 95% (83.5-99.1). The PPV was 97.2% (90.9-99.5), and NPV 58.5% (51.4-61.0). Kappa was 0.57 (0.43-0.62). If used clinically the algorithm would have aborted 53.3% (8/15) of inappropriate shocks delivered into an AT-mechanism tachycardia and would not have withheld a shock for any episode of VT.
CONCLUSION: Analysis of atrial response patterns during and after ventricular ATP can successfully discriminate tachycardia mechanism and may reduce inappropriate ICD shocks.
