In newer implantable cardioverter-defibrillators with automatic gain control amplifiers the maximum possible sensitivity is programmed with the aim of securing optimal detection of ventricular fibrillation. This study was designed to prove that a reduction in maximum sensitivity is safe with respect to appropriate sensing of ventricular fibrillation, while avoiding sensing of extracardiac signals.
