Values are presented as the number of patients experiencing a shock within each therapy zone. Acceleration refers to acceleration of a tachycardia with ATP, ie, a decrease in average tachycardia cycle length of 10 ms. ATP indicates anti‐tachycardia pacing; TCL, tachycardia cycle length; VF, ventricular fibrillation; VT, ventricular tachycardia.
