Forty-eight patients were randomized to accept a single-chamber ICD and 52 for article of a dual-chamber ICD. Accommodating characteristics are apparent in Table 1 . No statistically cogent differences were begin amid the two groups. Built-in defibrillators were from Guidant, St. Paul, MN, USA (n = 49; built-in models Mini III, Mini IV, Ventak AV II, Ventak AV III, Prizm DR), Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA (n = 44; built-in models GEM 7223, 7227, 7250, and 7271), St. Jude Medical, Sylmar, CA, USA (n = 3; built-in models Angström II and Photon), Biotronik, Berlin, Germany (n = 2; built-in models Phylax 06 and Phylax AV), and ELA Medical, Le Plessis-Robinson, France (n = 2; built-in archetypal Defender II). The altered manufacturers were appropriately represented in the single- and dual-chamber accumulation (see Table 1 ).

Follow-up could be completed in 93 out of 100 patients (mean ascertainment time 52 ± 14 months). Five patients of the single-chamber accumulation and two patients of the dual-chamber accumulation were absent during aftereffect 25 ± 17 (range 5-45) months afterwards the implantation.
One accommodating beyond over from a single-chamber ICD to a dual-chamber ICD afterwards 45 months due to catechize atrioventricular block. In one accommodating of the dual-chamber accumulation ICD abridged infection was doubtable and the ICD arrangement was explanted 8 months afterwards the antecedent implantation. Reimplantation was performed with a single-chamber ICD as the accommodating had developed abiding atrial fibrillation in the meantime. In addition accommodating of the dual-chamber accumulation the ICD was removed due to cardiac affliction and approaching breach of the accessory 18 months from the date of implantation. As high-degree atrioventricular block was present at this time a pacemaker was built-in instead.
In one accommodating assigned to the dual-chamber ICD accumulation the arrangement was explanted on the break of affection transplantation 42 months afterwards implantation.
In addition accommodating of the dual-chamber accumulation atrioventricular nodal ablation was performed due to atrial fibrillation with drug-refractory accelerated ventricular response.

All 48 patients randomized to the single-chamber ICD accumulation were paced in the VVI mode. Abject amount was 45 ± 5 beats/min. For the patients of the dual-chamber ICD accumulation the pacing approach was called as follows: AAI (n = 4), DDD (n = 36), and DDI (n = 12). The abject amount of 55 ± 11 beats/min was decidedly college back compared to that of the single-chamber ICD accumulation (P < 0.0001).
Although the atrioventricular adjournment was abiding (204 ± 38 ms) back compared to accepted settings and a ample cardinal of patients accustomed AAI or DDI advancement pacing in the dual-chamber ICD group, allotment of ventricular paced beats was decidedly college back compared to the single-chamber ICD accumulation (37.0 ± 39.2% for dual-chamber ICD vs 2.3 ± 6.4% for single-chamber ICD; P < 0.0001).
Intervention ante for ventricular tachycardias were 166 ± 17 beats/min for single-chamber ICD and 165 ± 17 beats/min for dual-chamber ICD, appropriately (not significant). Detection of ventricular fibrillation was accomplished at a amount of 212 ± 27 beats/min for single-chamber ICD and 211 ± 14 beats/min for dual-chamber ICD (not significant).
At the end of the study, 26 out of 100 patients had died. Ten out of 48 (20.8%) deaths occurred in the single-chamber accumulation against 16 out of 52 (30.7%) in the dual-chamber accumulation (P = 0.26). Six out of 48 (12.5%) patients with single-chamber ICD against 11 out of 52 (21.2%) patients with dual-chamber ICD randomization died due to avant-garde affection ache (P = 0.25).

Kaplan-Meier curves for all-cause bloodshed and cardiovascular bloodshed are apparent in Figure 1.
Survival curves fc single-chamber and dual-chamber recipients apropos all-cause bloodshed (left panel) and cardiac bloodshed (right panel). Pts = Patients; SCH = Single-chamber ICD; DCH = Dual-chamber ICD.
Percentage of ventricular paced beats was not associated with bloodshed because all patients. However, assuming a subgroup assay application 35% of ventricular paced beats as absolute amount in the dual-chamber ICD group-which represents the average ventricular pacing percentage-differences became evident. For the dual-chamber ICD group-in which accidental appropriate ventricular pacing may action due to abstruse limitations in adjusting the atrioventricular delay-the bloodshed amount was added to 8 out of 19 (42%) for patients with common ventricular pacing compared to 2 out of 20 (10%) for patients with a low amount of ventricular pacing (P = 0.05, about accident 4.21, 95% aplomb interval: 0.9-19.8).
At the end of the study, 24 out of 48 (50.0%) patients with single-chamber ICD accomplished at atomic one adventure of ventricular tachyarrhythmia compared with 33 out of 52 (63.5%) patients in the dual-chamber ICD accumulation (P = 0.17). Eighteen out of 48 (37.5%) patients of the single-chamber ICD accumulation had at atomic one cardioversion or defibrillation against 24 out of 52 (46.2%) patients of the dual-chamber ICD accumulation (P = 0.38). Survival chargeless of ICD shocks is apparent in Figure 2.

Patients in the single-chamber ICD accumulation had 23 ± 74 (range 0-322, average 1) appropriately advised episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmias stored in the ICD Holter against 54 ± 134 (range 0-507, average 1) episodes for patients of the dual-chamber ICD accumulation (P = 0.17). Patients with a single-chamber ICD had 1.5 ± 2.7 (range 0-10, average 0) ICD shocks and patients with dual-chamber ICD had 14 ±19 (range 0-305, average 0) ICD shocks, appropriately (P = 0.38).
Arrhythmia storms are authentic as three or added appropriately detected episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmias acute cardioversion or defibrillation aural 24 hours. They were encountered in four patients of the dual-chamber accumulation but in no accommodating of the single-chamber group. Three patients underwent VT ablation due to alternate ventricular tachyarrhythmias (all of them were randomized to dual-chamber ICD), in two of these patients the ablation was performed as a accomplishment ablation due to astringent storms of ventricular tachyarrhythmias not attainable by any added means.
