Through Biotronik Home Monitoring physicians can be notified early, enabling the immediate initiation of necessary medication and treatment to avoid stroke and other consequences of AF. Additionally, the continuous monitoring of the atrial heart rate further enables the close surveillance of AF therapies to confirm or adjust the necessary treatment.
Lumax 540 VR-T DX uses the Smart Detection algorithm for the discrimination of supra-ventricular from ventricular tachycardias by directly comparing the atrial and ventricular heart rates. With its proven high specificity, the Smart Detection discrimination algorithm safely reduces the number of inappropriate ICD therapies caused by a misclassification of atrial as ventricular tachycardias. Moreover, Biotronik Home Monitoring provides high resolution online IEGMs, enabling the precise assessment of the appropriateness of all ICD therapies.
Early detection of atrial fibrillation and safe reduction of inappropriate shocks significantly reduce risks in single chamber ICD therapy, providing advanced patient management and unique patient protection.
