Energy delivered at connector block into a 50 Ω ± 1% load.
Energy stored at charge end on capacitor.
A controlled, head-to-head study evaluating the comparative performance of device algorithms has not been done. AF detection accuracy rates determined from independent clinical trials are presented for reference.
Detection accuracy is compared using PPV, which is the percentage of all AT/AF episodes detected by the individual device detection algorithm that were adjudicated as true AT/AF.
Compared to matched control group.
Most of the reduction in AF occurred in subgroups with prolonged AV conduction at baseline and with significant left atrial reverse remodeling.
