Aims: Intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) recorded by implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are essential for arrhythmia diagnosis and ICD therapy assessment. Short IEGM snapshots showing 3-10 s before arrhythmia detection were added to the Biotronik Home Monitoring system in 2005 as the first-generation IEGM Online. The RIONI study tested the primary hypothesis that experts' ratings regarding the appropriateness of ICD therapy based on IEGM Online and on standard 30 s IEGM differ in <10% of arrhythmia events.
Methods And Results: A total of 619 ICD patients were enrolled and followed for 1 year. According to a predefined procedure, 210 events recorded by the ICDs were selected for evaluation. Three expert board members rated the appropriateness of ICD therapy and classified the underlying arrhythmia using coded IEGM Online and standard IEGM to avoid bias. The average duration of IEGM Online was 4.4±1.5 s. According to standard IEGM, the underlying arrhythmia was ventricular in 135 episodes (64.3%), supraventricular in 53 episodes (25.2%), oversensing in 17 episodes (8.1%), and uncertain in 5 episodes (2.4%). The expert board's rating diverged between determinable IEGM Online tracings and standard IEGM in 4.6% of episodes regarding the appropriateness of ICD therapy (95% CI up to 8.0%) and in 6.6% of episodes regarding arrhythmia classification (95% CI up to 10.5%).
Conclusion: By enabling accurate evaluation of the appropriateness of ICD therapy and the underlying arrhythmia, the first-generation IEGM Online provided a clinically effective basis for timely interventions and for optimized patient management schemes, which was comparable with current IEGM recordings.

Background And Objective: The automated detection of atrial activations (AAs) recorded from intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) during atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging considering their various amplitudes, morphologies and cycle length. Activation time estimation is further complicated by the constant changes in the IEGM active zones in complex and/or fractionated signals. We propose a new method which provides reliable automatic extraction of intracardiac AAs recorded within the pulmonary veins during AF and an accurate estimation of their local activation times.

Article Synopsis
- MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is an efficient method for identifying microorganisms due to its speed and accuracy, but it lacks a universal reference database for mass spectra.
- This study implements a geometric approach to process mass spectrometry data, enabling the creation of a web-based application that improves identification methods.
- The research shows that new algorithms, which analyze full spectra without peak-picking, achieve accuracy comparable to existing software, with resources and data made available online for further use.

Aims: Intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) are essential for the assessment of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) function. The Biotronik Home Monitoring systems transmit an 'IEGM Online' that is shorter than the full-length programmer IEGM due to technical constrains. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the physician's classification of the underlying rhythm based on the second-generation IEGM Online.
