Panel A: all six studies; Panel B: only randomised controlled trials. ADVANCE III = Avoid Delivering Therapies for Nonsustained Arrhythmias in ICD Patients III; EMPIRIC = Comparison of Empiric to Physician-tailored Programming of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators; MADIT-RIT = Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial-Reduce Inappropriate Therapy; PREPARE = Primary Prevention Parameters Evaluation; PROVIDE = Programming Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators in Patients with Primary Prevention Indication to Prolong Time to First Shock; RELEVANT = Role of Long Detection Window Programming in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction, Non-ischemic Etiology in Primary Prevention Treated with a Biventricular ICD.
