T wave oversensing in subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator secondary to hematoma formation: A potential cause of early postimplantation inappropriate shocks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2019
T wave oversensing (TWOS) is the most common cause of inappropriate shocks in subcutaneous cardioverter‐defibrillators (S‐ICD). We are presenting a patient with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy who received a S‐ICD while on antiplatelets therapy.

Inappropriate ICD Shocks - When Monitoring Zones Do More Than Monitor

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2013
The ventricular tachycardia (VT) monitoring zone in implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) is usually programmed to detect slow VTs. However, it is not well known whether programming this zone can affect the ICD arrhythmia redetection or ...

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

open access: yesHeartRhythm 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 ...

Midterm Efficacy of SubcutAneous Implantable CardioVErter-Defibrillator in ≤ 18 Year-Old CHILDREN (SAVE CHILDREN-II Registry). [PDF]

open access: yesJ Arrhythm
Background The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (S‐ICD) avoids transvenous leads and is a promising option for sudden cardiac death (SCD) prevention in pediatric patients. However, mid‐term outcomes and post‐shock management strategies
