OMNI Study--Assessing Therapies in Medtronic Pacemaker, Defibrillator, and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Devices.

The OMNI results demonstrate the importance of Medtronic's ongoing efforts to increase adoption of evidence based shock-reduction programming strategies. Longer VF NID (number of intervals to detect in the VF zone) should be utilized with the Anti-tachycardia Pacing (ATP) During Charging Feature. ATP during Charging allows physicians to treat with ATP without delay to shock. Therefore, VF NID may be extended to allow episodes the chance to self-terminate immediately to shock by use of the ATP during the charging feature.
