Reply to the Editor—Programming more ATP sequences is not a case of no harm, no foul

We would like to thank van der Stuijt et al for their comments on our article. In their letter, they suggest minimizing antitachycardia pacing (ATP) trains with initial programming, and recommend using more ATP trains only if the initial ATP is successful. This is based on their analysis of the results of the PRAETORIAN study, in which patients with transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) with ATP capability were found to have a borderline greater number of electrical storm events.
