An unusual cause for inappropriate defibrillator shock

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2022
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.

An uncommon cause of inappropriate ICD shock [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
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 inappropriate defibrillator shock during ventricular tachycardia

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2015
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 ICD Shock as a Result of TASER Discharge

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Conducted energy weapon (commonly known as TASER) discharge in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators is known to cause electromagnetic interference and inappropriate ventricular fibrillation sensing without delivery of implantable ...

Inappropriate shocks or inappropriate programming? A review of Guidant'sTM reconfirmation algorithm [PDF]

Europace, 2009
Ventricular tachycardia episodes terminating during or immediately after device charging are not expected to be treated by current implantable cardioverter defibrillators as shocks are non-committed. For proper troubleshooting, the reconfirmation algorithm will be reviewed.

Inappropriate subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks for bradycardia [PDF]

HeartRhythm Case Reports, 2021
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD) have been shown to be noninferior to conventional transvenous ICDs with respect to device-related complications and inappropriate shocks.1 For patients who meet indications for an ICD and do not require bradycardia pacing, antitachycardia pacing, or cardiac resynchronization therapy, it is ...

Inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks in Brugada syndrome: Pattern in primary and secondary prevention

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2017
Background: Inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks is a common complication in Brugada syndrome. However, the incidence in recipients of ICD for primary and secondary prevention is unknown.
