Inappropriate defibrillator shock due to EMI despite noise reversion and SecureSense - What is the mechanism?

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2022
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks are always a matter of anxiety and concern for both patient and clinician. We report a case of ischemic cardiomyopathy who reported to us after receiving two shocks within 48 hours.

Do all patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator need a generator change? A health service evaluation of patients who underwent generator changes from a single tertiary center

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2020
Background: The patient characteristics, therapy received and outcomes after one or more implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) generator changes from contemporary practice is not well known.

Impact of signal-averaged electrocardiography findings on appropriate shocks in prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator patients with nonischemic systolic heart failure

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background Appropriate shock therapy is associated with subsequent all-cause death in heart failure (HF) patients who receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (SICD) for sudden cardiac death - A case series

IHJ Cardiovascular Case Reports, 2022
Sudden cardiac death is the final event caused in several cases by ventricular arrhythmias. Transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have been the standard therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Frequent Home Monitoring of ICD Is Effective to Prevent Inappropriate Defibrillator Shock Delivery

Case Reports in Medicine, 2014
Recently, in the context of telemedicine, telemonitoring services are gaining attention. They are offered, for example, to patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

Interaction between shock coils increased the incidence of inappropriate therapies and lead failure in implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2018
Aims: Shock coil interaction in patients with multiple implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads is occasionally observed. We aimed to evaluate the incidence of shock coil interaction and its clinical relevance.

An inappropriate pacing threshold increase after repeated electrical storm in a patient with implantable cardioverter defibrillator

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2017
Background Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are capable of effectively terminating malignant ventricular arrhythmia and are the most effective way to prevent sudden cardiac death.

Outcomes in Brugada Syndrome Patients With Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators: Insights From the SGLT2 Registry

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Background and ObjectivesBrugada syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac ion channelopathy with characteristic electrocardiographic patterns, predisposing affected individuals to sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Comparison of Inappropriate Shocks and Other Health Outcomes Between Single‐ and Dual‐Chamber Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators for Primary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death: Results From the Cardiovascular Research Network Longitudinal Study of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundIn US clinical practice, many patients who undergo placement of an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death receive dual‐chamber devices.

Outcomes of symptomatic Brugada syndrome patients with implanted cardioverter defibrillators: A report from an endemic area

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Background: In Thailand and Southeast Asia, Brugada syndrome (BS) is a common inheritable cause of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF).
