year of follow-up to 9.9% and 9.6% in second and third year after implantation respectively. After alteration of detection parameters (filters, detection zone, onset, stability), lead replacement, pacemaker reprogramming amount of inappropriate detection decreased in subsequent follow-up. The overall efficacy of those interventions was 76.3%. Conclusions: 1) The number of inappropriate detection during the first period after implantation of ICD is relatively high, but decrease after
