Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the efficacy of RV and BiV ATP for the termination of ventricular arrhythmias in patients who are candidates to a cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) and have a Class I or IIA indication for ICD implantation.

The hypothesis of delivering ATP from different sites (RV or BIV) has never been evaluated in a prospective, controlled and randomized study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Main objective: Compare efficacy of ATP therapy (Burst, 8 pulses, 88 %, 1 sequence) to terminate all types of ventricular tachycardia (all VTs (FVT+VT)) when delivered in the right ventricle (RV) only versus both ventricles (BiV) resulting in a 10 % difference in favour of BIV ATP

Secondary objectives:

* Compare efficacy of the first BiV and RV ATP (Burst, 8 pulses, 88 %) to terminate fast ventricular tachycardia (FVT)
* Compare efficacy of the first BiV and RV ATP (Burst, 8 pulses, 88 %) to terminate slow ventricular tachycardia (slow VT)
* Compare efficacy of BiV and RV ATP (all ATP therapies) to terminate slow ventricular tachycardia (slow VT)
* Determine the rate of both FVT and VT episodes which are accelerated or degenerates into VF
