Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator and Inappropriate Therapy: “Black Box” Examination Yielded Both Human and Technical Causes

We report on a 70-year-old male patient who was recipient of GEM III DR 7275 Cardioverter Defibrillator, and who presented with inappropriate shocks. The patient had a documented slow ventricular tachycardia (VT), and the device was programmed to detect VT at rates >100 bpm, fast VT (FVT, via VT)...

description We report on a 70-year-old male patient who was recipient of GEM III DR 7275 Cardioverter Defibrillator, and who presented with inappropriate shocks. The patient had a documented slow ventricular tachycardia (VT), and the device was programmed to detect VT at rates >100 bpm, fast VT (FVT, via VT) at rates >150 bpm, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) at rates >188 bpm. After detection of FVT, efficient therapy was delivered; however, this was immediately followed by multiple inappropriate therapies. Inappropriate therapies were discussed, with a focus on programming features.
