The SecureSense right ventricular (RV) lead noise discrimination algorithm is designed to detect lead fracture and other types of oversensing in order to decrease inappropriate therapy.
We studied the real-life accuracy of the SecureSense algorithm in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients followed by remote monitoring across multiple centers.
Across 3 French centers, we studied 486 patients with a St Jude Medical device who were followed by remote monitoring and who had the SecureSense algorithm activated. We reviewed ≤10 of the most recent remote monitoring-transmitted electrograms of nonsustained oversensing, RV lead noise, and ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation that received therapy.
SecureSense inhibited 22 inappropriate therapies (lead dysfunction in 10 cases, P-wave oversensing in 12 cases). A total of 57 patients (12%) sent ≥1 nonsustained oversensing episode (total of 393 episodes) with multiple etiologies: noise on the near-field channel (38%), oversensing of T waves during ventricular pacing (33%), oversensing of the sinus P wave (12%), and oversensing of the paced P wave (6%). Two episodes (0.5%) of nonsustained VT were undersensed by the far-field channel. Of 336 analyzed episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmia, 15 episodes (4%) in 4 patients were related to oversensing of intrinsic P waves in 11 episodes or oversensing of external noise due to electrical cautery for the remaining 4 episodes.
Of ICD patients equipped with SecureSense, 12% developed episodes of oversensing. The SecureSense algorithm prevented inappropriate ICD therapies with accurate diagnosis of oversensing (caused by lead dysfunction or oversensing of physiological signals). P-wave oversensing in integrated bipolar leads, electrical cautery, and electromagnetic interference are prone to be missed by SecureSense.
SecureSense 右心室(RV)导联噪声判别算法旨在检测导联断裂和其他类型的过感知,以减少不适当的治疗。
我们研究了SecureSense 算法在植入式心脏复律除颤器(ICD)患者中的实际准确性,这些患者通过远程监测在多个中心进行随访。
在 3 个法国中心,我们研究了 486 名接受远程监测且激活了 SecureSense 算法的 St Jude Medical 设备患者。我们回顾了 22 例因 RV 导联噪声和室性心动过速/心室颤动而接受治疗的非持续过感知、RV 导联噪声和室性心动过速/心室颤动的最近远程监测传输的电描记图中的≤10 例。
SecureSense 抑制了 22 例不适当的治疗(10 例为导联功能障碍,12 例为 P 波过感知)。共有 57 例(12%)患者发送了≥1 次非持续过感知发作(共 393 次发作),有多种病因:近场通道噪声(38%)、心室起搏时 T 波过感知(33%)、窦性 P 波过感知(12%)和起搏 P 波过感知(6%)。远场通道对 2 次(0.5%)非持续 VT 发作漏感。在 336 次分析的室性心动过速/颤动发作中,4 例患者的 15 次发作(4%)与 11 次固有 P 波过感知或 4 次因电灼术导致的外部噪声有关。
在配备 SecureSense 的 ICD 患者中,有 12%发生了过感知发作。SecureSense 算法通过对过感知(由导联功能障碍或生理信号过感知引起)的准确诊断,防止了不适当的 ICD 治疗。集成双极导联中的 P 波过感知、电灼术和电磁干扰易被 SecureSense 漏诊。
