چکیده

T wave oversensing (TWOS) is a common cause of inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies. Various algorithms to avoid inappropriate ICD therapy are available; however, they are not helpful to avoid TWOS. Although the reproduction of TWOS is useful to resolve the problem of TWOS, it is sometimes difficult to reproduce TWOS. We report two cases of inappropriate ICD therapy due to TWOS, which were induced only by body twisting. We can successfully manage the device based on the evidence of reproduced TWOS.

A case of inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy induced by T-wave oversensing due to hyperkalemia.

There have been reports of hyperkalemia-induced T-wave oversensing in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). However, a comparison of T-wave amplitudes and morphologies between the surface 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and ICD electrogram has not been reported. We present the case of a 70-year-old man who received inappropriate ICD shocks due to hyperkalemia-induced T-w...

T-wave Oversensing with Inappropriate Therapy in Remote Monitoring

T-wave oversensing can cause inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies that are difficult to correct. Remote monitoring allows follow-up of ICD patients without visiting the hospital and can help in early detection of any malfunctions. We describe the case of a patient who experienced inappropriate antitachycardia pacing therapy due to T-wave oversensing; the problem ...

Routine exercise testing could not predict T‐wave oversensing in a patient after a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator implant

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) are susceptible to T-wave oversensing (TWOS) caused by high rate-dependent QRS-T morphology changes. We experienced an inappropriate S-ICD shock due to TWOS, which could not be predicted by routine exercise testing. A newly available high-pass filter might be effective for avoiding this.

Hyperglycemia-Induced T-Wave Oversensing as a Cause of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Failure

T-wave oversensing occurs when the counter starts giving dual beeps for every cardiac cycle instead of one. This usually happens when the monitoring lead displays a tall T wave, which is also sharp. R wave sensing algorithms of the devices do not sense T wave because the slow rate of the T wave is much less than that of the R wave. But the slow rate of T waves may change with time and also beca...

Unusual cause for an increase of the sensing integrity counter in a patient with inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy.

We describe the case of a patient who presented with multiple implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shock discharges 12 months after device implantation. Upon device interrogation, intermittent oversensing of electrical noise and potential ICD lead failure were suggested by a significant increase in the sensing integrity counter (SIC), a cumulative count of very short ventricular sensed ...
