T-wave Oversensing with Inappropriate Therapy in Remote Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 was promptly detected by remote monitoring and corrected by device reprogramming.

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...
متن کاملA 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...

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 کاملT-wave oversensing during left ventricular pacing causing inappropriate defibrillation
Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with left ventricular (LV)-only pacing has emerged as an alternative to biventricular (Bi-V) pacing used to synchronize ventricular contraction by timing LV pacing with intrinsic right ventricular (RV) conduction. Additionally, RV pacing is minimized, improving device longevity. Despite its benefits, LV pacing may not the best modality for al...
