3. MADIT-RIT: BACKGROUND ICD is highly effective in reducing mortality in high-risk cardiac pts. Despite sophisticated device-detection algorithms, 8-40% of ICD therapies are inappropriate with adverse side effects Question: can ICD devices be reprogrammed to safely reduce inappropriate therapies?

4. MADIT-RIT: Hypothesis Hypothesis Dual-chamber ICD or CRT-D devices with: - high-rate cutoff (>200bpm), or - duration-delay (initial 60sec monitoring delay @>170bpm) plus rhythm ID detection will be associated with fewer 1 st inappropriate therapies than standard/conventional programming (2.5sec delay @ >170bpm) without increase in mortality Randomized, 3-arm study using Boston Scientific devices

5. Randomization Arms Arm A (Conventional) Arm B (High-rate) Arm C (Duration-delay) Zone 1: >170 bpm, 2.5s delay 170 bpm >170 bpm, 60s delay Onset/Stability Detection Enhancements ON Monitor onlyRhythm ID Detection Enhancements ON ATP + Shock Zone 2: >200 bpm, 1s delay>200 bpm, 2.5s delay>200 bpm, 12s delay Quick Convert ATP Shock Quick Convert ATP Shock Rhythm ID Detection Enhancements ON ATP + Shock Zone 3 : >250 bpm, 2.5s delay Quick Convert ATP + Shock * All programming is within approved labeling MADIT-RIT: Three Treatment Arms*

6. MADIT-RIT: ELIGIBILITY Inclusion Criteria - I 0 prevention patients with no Hx of VT/VF - Sinus rhythm at enrollment; Hx PAF ok - Pt. on stable, optimal pharmacologic therapy - Age >21 yrs; informed consent Exclusion Criteria - Pt. with pacemaker, ICD or CRT-D device - CABG or PTCA in past 3 months - MI (enzyme +) or AF in past 3 months - 2 nd or 3 rd degree heart block - NYHA IV - Chronic AF - Renal disease:BUN>50mg/dlor Creatinine>2.5mg/dL

7. MADIT-RIT Primary Endpoint PRIMARY (90% power for hazard ratio 0.5 at p<0.05) First episode of inappropriate therapy - B arm vs. A arm - C arm vs. A arm Rationale for first inappropriate therapy (IT) - Expect reprogramming to be common after IT - Protocol allows reprogramming after IT SECONDARY All-cause mortality Syncope MADIT-RIT: Prespecified End Points

8. MADIT-RIT: POPULATION 1,500 pts. enrolled from 98 centers in US, Canada, Europe, Israel & Japan Average follow-up = 1.4 years

15. MADIT-RIT: CONCLUSIONS Improved ICD programming at high-rate (>200 bpm) or 60sec duration-delay is associated with: 1) ~75% reduction in 1 st inappropriate therapy; 2) ~50% reduction in all-cause mortality We believe the decrease in mortality is related to the reduction in adverse inappropriate shock and ATP therapies.
