چکیده
The second ECG recorded supraventricular tachycardia at the time his hemodynamic status deteriorated and decision was made to perform electrical cardioversion with 120 Joules of biphasic synchronized direct current with follow up ECG that showed atrial paced rhythm (Figure 1B). His condition improved and started on amiodarone 200 mg, anticoagulation, and subsequent follow up for ICD reprogramming with no recurrent episodes.

متن کاملInappropriate Shocks in Patients with ICDs: Single Chamber versus Dual Chamber
BACKGROUND Despite the technological evolution of the implantable defibrillator, one of the questions that remains is the possible benefit of the dual chamber versus single chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in reducing inappropriate shocks. OBJECTIVE To evaluate which type of device provides fewer inappropriate shocks (dual chamber versus single chamber) in patients with im...
