Assessment of Antitachycardia Pacing in Primary Prevention Patients: The APPRAISE ATP Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA
November 2024
Duke Clinical Research Institute and Division of Cardiology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.
Importance: The emergence of novel programming guidelines that reduce premature and inappropriate therapies along with the availability of new implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) technologies lacking traditional endocardial antitachycardia pacing (ATP) capabilities requires the reevaluation of ATP as a first strategy in terminating fast ventricular tachycardias (VTs) in primary prevention ICD recipients.
Objective: To assess the role of ATP in terminating fast VTs in primary prevention ICD recipients with contemporary programming.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This global, prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial had an equivalence design with a relative margin of 35%.
Appropriate and inappropriate ICD shocks in patients with LVADs: Prevalence, associated factors, and etiologies.

Article Synopsis
- A study at Duke University Hospital reviewed 421 patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to assess the frequency and causes of ICD shocks post-surgery.
- Out of these patients, 33.9% experienced at least one shock, with 77.3% deemed appropriate and 22.7% inappropriate, primarily due to supraventricular tachycardia.
- The findings suggest that better ICD programming, such as longer detection delays and higher rate cutoffs, could reduce the number of inappropriate shocks in LVAD recipients.

Incidence and Predictors of Relapse After Weaning Immune Suppressive Therapy in Cardiac Sarcoidosis.
Am J Cardiol
October 2023
Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina; Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina.
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a relapsing-remitting disease, and immune suppression (IS) is the mainstay of therapy. Predictors of relapse for patients with CS in remission are not well characterized. We assessed incidence of relapse in consecutive patients with CS treated with high-dose steroids and/or steroid-sparing agents (SSA) in our center from 2000 to 2020.
