Inappropriate ICD shocks after collision with a pole
, 2015 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.

Inappropriate defibrillator shock due to oversensing. What is the mechanism?
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021 Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is often advised for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death. Inappropriate shocks from ICD is uncommon but can seriously affect the quality of life.

The automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: Evaluating suspected inappropriate shocks [PDF]
, 1986 Two patients who received inappropriate shocks from an implanted defibrillator are presented. In one case, fracture of a sensing lead was responsible and in the other case, sensing of both pacemaker stimuli and the evoked ventricular electrogram resulted

Properties of mass-loading shocks, 2. Magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]
, 1992 The one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics of shocked flows subjected to significant mass loading are considered. Recent observations at comets Giacobini-Zinner and Halley suggest that simple nonreacting MHD is an inappropriate description for active ...

ICD discrimination of SVT versus VT with 1:1 V-A conduction: A review of the literature
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2015 Inappropriate ICD shocks are associated with increased mortality. They also impair patients' quality of life, increase hospitalizations, and raise health-care costs. Nearly 80% of inappropriate ICD shocks are caused by supraventricular tachycardia.

Pseudo Inappropriate Shock: A Technical Dilemma
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2019 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. Despite improvements in shock detecting algorithms by various manufacturers, incidence of inappropriate shock therapy remains high, it is

‘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 …
