Inappropriate ICD Shocks for Inappropriate Reasons
ICD shocks can result from a variety of etiologies; determining the proper etiology of the inappropriate shock is essential for correction of the problem. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can mimic cardiac signals and cause inappropriate defibrillator shocks. We present two cases of inappropriate ICD shocks due to EMI and reversal of the proximal and distal DF-1 lead terminals of the ICD lead...
متن کاملInappropriate ICD Shocks - When Monitoring Zones Do More Than Monitor
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 confirmation criteria. We report two cases of inappropriate ICD shocks due to the programming of a slow VT monitoring zone in the same device model.
متن کاملAV Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia Causing Inappropriate ICD Shocks In A Patient With Arrhythmogenic RV Dysplasia
We report a patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) who received inappropriate shocks for atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia (AVRNT). Patient had multiple shocks for tachycardia with EGM characteristics of very short VA interval and CL of 300 msec. An electrophysiologic (EP) study reproducibly induced typical AVNR...
متن کاملInappropriate Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Shocks
Results A total of 1,544 ICD patients (79% male, age 61 13 years) were included in the analysis. During the follow-up period of 41 18 months, 13% experienced 1 inappropriate shocks. The cumulative incidence steadily increased to 18% at 5-year follow-up. Independent predictors of the occurrence of inappropriate shocks included a history of atrial fibrillation (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.0, p 0.01) and...
متن کاملTrouble Shooting of ICD Therapy: Inappropriate Shock
Patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) can undergo inappropriate therapies (shock or antitachycardia pacing) if electrical activity not originating in the ventricle is wrongly recognized as ventricular by the device. Inappropriate therapy leading to shocks is not innocuous; consequences include pain and its psychological sequelae, particularly anxiety, as well as inductio...
