Atrial signal amplitude predicts atrial high‐rate episodes in implantable cardioverter defibrillator patients: Insights from a large database of remote monitoring transmissions

Parameters measured during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant also depend on bioelectrical properties of the myocardium. We aimed to explore their potential association with clinical outcomes in patients with single/dual‐chamber ICD and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT‐D).
