Inappropriate shocks following recent generator replacement

Herzschrittmachertherapie + Elektrophysiologie, 2023
In a 64-year-old male patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death, a shock occurred some months after generator exchange and downgrade to a single-chamber system. Careful analysis of the stored electrogram revealed a rare cause that could be confirmed at the time of operative revision.

Inappropriate defibrillator shocks and mortality

Heart, 2013
Despite the established survival benefits of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy and other forms of cardiomyopathies, a major limitation of this technology remains the delivery of inappropriate shocks for reasons other than life-threatening ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation ...

Biventricular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator and Inappropriate Shocks

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2003
Biventricular ICD and Inappropriate Shocks. A 53‐year‐old man with nonischemic cardiomyopathy underwent implantation of a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for symptomatic ventricular tachycardia. He received five shocks while attempting to exercise, 48 hours after implantation.

Appropriate Result from an Inappropriate ICD Shock

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2006
A case of inappropriate detection of an ungrounded external AC current by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is reported. The resultant ICD shock dislodged the patient from the electrical source, thus preventing injury or electrocution.

Inappropriate Shock Therapy in a Heart Failure Defibrillator

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2001
BETTS, T.R., et al.: Inappropriate Shock Therapy in a Heart Failure Defibrillator. A 63‐year‐old male with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent implantation of a “heart failure” defibrillator capable of biventricular pacing. He received an inappropriate shock 5 hours after the procedure.

Is Inappropriate Implantable Defibrillator Shock Therapy Predictable?

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2003
To identify implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients who are at risk of receiving inappropriate shock.Inappropriate ICD shock, usually from atrial fibrillation (AF) or sinus tachycardia (ST), is a common problem. We hypothesized that clinical variables would predict which patients with single chamber ICDs would be more likely to receive ...

[Inappropriate ICD shocks after collision with a pole].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2016
A 60-year-old man experienced inappropriate ICD shocks after collision with a pole. Cine-fluoroscopy demonstrated lead fracture of the proximal lead, which was not so clearly visible on the chest radiograph. He underwent lead extraction and implantation of a new ICD system.

Methods of minimizing inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks

Current Cardiology Reports, 2000
As more and more patients receive complex implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), profound knowledge about the incidence of inappropriate device therapy, the reasons it happens, and the possibilities for prevention is crucial. In this article, the most important prevention algorithms incorporated in current ICD models and their advantages and ...
