Pseudo inappropriate shock: A technical dilemma [PDF]
With liberal availability of high end cardiac implantable devices in recent era, we frequently encounter patients who are recipients of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in our routine clinical practice.

An inappropriate shock after reprogramming tachycardia zones [PDF]
A patient with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) (Abbott®) had episodes of slow monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and his ICD was programmed with three tachycardia zones. During the follow‐up, he received an inappropriate shock. Upon

An uncommon cause of inappropriate ICD shock [PDF]
In cases of electromagnetic interference (EMI), if the source of the inappropriate EMI cannot be identified, then the sensitivity of the device could be decreased, or the cycle length of the VF detection trigger zone changed.

An unusual cause for inappropriate defibrillator shock
A 50-year-old lady with dilated cardiomyopathy and scar VT underwent single chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD, Medtronic Ltd, Evera XT VR, DVBB2D1) implantation 2 months back. A Sprint Quattro secure 6947 DF1 dual coil lead was placed at RV apex. Now, she presents with an episode of ICD shock while having breakfast.

Early inappropriate shock in a subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator due to subcutaneous air [PDF]
A 57‐year‐old man was admitted to our hospital due to syncopal attack. He was diagnosed with Brugada syndrome due to which a subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator (S‐ICD) was inserted using the standard technique.

Inappropriate shock for myopotential over-sensing in a patient with subcutaneous ICD [PDF]
Inappropriate ICD shocks are common adverse events; they are mainly due to supraventricular arrhythmias and secondly are related to noise, undersensing, oversensing, device malfunctions.

An inappropriate defibrillator shock during ventricular tachycardia
Ventricular oversensing in patients with defibrillators is an infrequent but deleterious condition. We report a patient with a cardiac resynchronization–defibrillation device that presented with hyperkalemia and syncope.

Inappropriate shock in a subcutaneous cardiac defibrillator due to residual air [PDF]
Key Clinical Message Inappropriate shock due to residual air in subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators is not a well‐known complication. Obtaining overpenetrated X‐rays, recognizing electrocardiogram findings, limiting blunt finger dissection ...
