T-Wave Oversensing with Contemporary Implantable Cardioverter–Defibrillators

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Background: Implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) need to reliably detect ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) while avoiding T-wave oversensing (TWOS), which is associated with a risk of inappropriate therapies.
