Ethics committees and health authorities will be informed prior to any use of a newer device if applicable.\n\nAll patients will have a 3-zone detection configuration programmed. The slow VT zone will be defined by programming the detection parameters as follows:\n\n* Slow VT detection rate: 100 bpm (or if the resting rate is higher than 80 bpm, we recommend to adjust this parameter to: resting rate + 30 bpm)\n* VT detection rate: 150 bpm\n\nPARAD+ will be the first choice for SVT/ST and VT discrimination in the VT zones.\n\nThe Fast VT and VF limits are left to investigator's judgment. Therapy on VT, fast VT and VF are also left to the investigator's judgment.\n\nPatients will be randomized at implant to have the slow VT zone programmed as a monitoring zone (monitoring arm) or to have therapies programmed within the slow VT zone (therapy arm).
