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 کاملAn elderly man with a calcified brain.
A 63-year-old man presented with gait difficulty, slowing of all motor activity, and memory loss. He had been diagnosed and treated for Parkinson disease over the previous year but without any improvement. A computed tomography scan showed extensive calcifications throughout the brain (Fig. 1). The serum calcium concentration was 3.1 mg/dL (0.78 mmol/L) [reference interval, 8.4 –10.2 mg/dL (2.0...
متن کاملShould catheter ablation be the preferred therapy for reducing ICD shocks?: Ventricular tachycardia ablation versus drugs for preventing ICD shocks: role of adjuvant antiarrhythmic drug therapy.
In 1980, Mirowski et al1 implanted the first implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in a young female with recurrent ventricular fibrillation and provided an innovative approach to aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although the ICD was considered a treatment of last resort during that incipient stage, subsequent years have witnessed prolific expansion of indications for ICD implantation...
