‘Life-saving’ inappropriate ICD shock [PDF]

Europace, 2016
An 81-year-old female patient with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and an ICD implanted for secondary prevention received a shock while showering. The ICD interrogation revealed that a bodily conduction of the mains electric current caused the shock. Similar previously stored episodes …

Safety and Efficacy of Magnet Use to Temporarily Inhibit Inappropriate Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy in Emergency Situations: A Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2022
Introduction: The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) represents a major advancement in ICD technology. Inappropriate shocks (IAS) occur in more than 3.1% of the population with S-ICD each year and are usually followed by ...

Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Shock: Appropriate or Inappropriate? [PDF]

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2010
A 76‐year‐old female with a single chamber implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator implanted for secondary prevention was referred due to multiple discharges. The device was programmed for ventricular tachycardia (VT) detection at 400 ms, fast VT detection at 280 ms, and ventricular fibrillation detection at 320 ms.

Inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks in repaired tetralogy of fallot patients: Prevalence and electrophysiological mechanisms

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2020
Background: Patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are at increased risk for sudden cardiac death, often undergo implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation at younger ages, and are at greater risk of experiencing inappropriate shocks.

CyberKnife can cause inappropriate shock

Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi Arsivi-Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2012
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) have been increasingly used to treat life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Although they have life-saving capabilities, they are very sensitive to electromagnetic energy sources. It has been reported that many problems associated with the detection of tachyarrhythmias and termination of the ...

Device Therapies Among Patients Receiving Primary Prevention Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators in the Cardiovascular Research Network

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundPrimary prevention implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in selected patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction by delivering therapies (antitachycardia pacing or shocks) to terminate potentially lethal ...
