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

چکیده
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-wave oversensing. The T-wave amplitudes on both the ICD electrogram and 12-lead ECG corresponded and normalized after normalization of the potassium level.

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 ...
متن کاملTwo cases of inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapies due to T wave oversensing induced by body twisting
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 ther...
متن کاملInappropriate shocks by subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator due to T-wave oversensing in hyperkalemia leading to ventricular fibrillation
Introduction The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has reduced mortality in survivors of sudden cardiac arrest and patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death. This benefit comes at the cost of device-related complications, including those related to transvenous leads. The subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is an alternative to the conventional transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) system and has no tran...
متن کاملRoutine 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.
متن کاملHyperglycemia-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...
