Inappropriate ICD Discharge Related to Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Chiropractic Therapy: A Case Report
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been shown to reduce mortality in high-risk patients. Despite several advances in programming ICDs, inappropriate shocks persist and continue to be psychologically and physically disturbing. External electromagnetic interference from electrocautery, welding, acupunctures, low-output transcutaneous electric nerve stimulators, and electronic mus...
متن کاملOptimized design and implementation of electrical stimuli to reduce muscle pain and treat osteoarthritis
Today, electrical stimulation as a treatment method by creating muscle contraction by creating internal electrical stimulation is a method to reduce muscle pain. In addition, it is used to treat osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to study, design and implement optimized hardware for electrical muscle stimulators to reduce pain and treat osteoarthritis. Here, the design of the optimal sys...
متن کاملAn inappropriate pacing threshold increase after repeated electrical storm in a patient with implantable cardioverter defibrillator
BACKGROUND Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are capable of effectively terminating malignant ventricular arrhythmia and are the most effective way to prevent sudden cardiac death. However, some evidences demonstrated that both anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) and ICD shock can also bring adverse prognosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old Han Chinese man with prior ICD implantation w...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Interference from Swimming Pool Generator Current Causing Inappropriate ICD Discharges
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) includes any electromagnetic field signal that can be detected by device circuitry, with potentially serious consequences: incorrect sensing, pacing, device mode switching, and defibrillation. This is a unique case of extracardiac EMI by alternating current leakage from a submerged motor used to recycle chlorinated water, resulting in false rhythm detection an...
متن کاملWhen inappropriate becomes beneficial.
We report the case of a young man who accidentally received a prolonged electric discharge from electrical wires and released the electric source with the help of an inappropriate shock from his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), after misinterpretation of the electrical signal by the device as a ventricular tachycardia. This case illustrates the "electrical noise" phenomenon, and un...
