Stimulation was performed from the right ventricular apex and outflow tract using up to two extra stimuli. Following shared decision-making, patients received either an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or an implantable loop recorder (ILR). The endpoint was the occurrence of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), defined as appropriate ICD therapies, ILR-documented sustained VT, or arrhythmic syncope.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Sustained ventricular arrhythmias were inducible in 20 patients (47.6%).
