(B) The cumulative proportion of patients who experienced a first inappropriate therapy, antitachycardia pacing (ATP) or shock (due to any mechanism) is plotted versus time. The number of patients at risk at a given time point of follow-up is indicated below the x axis. The proportion of the population experiencing the event in question is given in parentheses at the 1-, 2-, and 3-year time points. Figure Legend:

The number of patients at risk at a given time point of follow-up is indicated below the x axis. The proportion of the population experiencing the event in question is given in parentheses at the 1-, 2-, and 3-year time points. AF = atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter; ICD = implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; SVT = supraventricular tachycardia. Figure Legend:

Atrial fibrillation episodes are shown with cross-hatched bars, and SVT episodes are shown with solid bars. Inappropriate shocks caused by abnormal sensing are excluded because the device has by definition misconstrued the actual ventricular rate (typically normal in these cases). The events relate to shocks, not patients, in this figure. Abbreviations as in figure 2. Figure Legend:
