An unusual cause of recurrent syncope in a patient with implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Electromagnetic interferences (EMI) deriving from electrical devices may affect implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). Improved algorithms have been developed in order to minimize adverse effects. However, caution should be still recommended in ICD recipients when handling electrical devices...

description Electromagnetic interferences (EMI) deriving from electrical devices may affect implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). Improved algorithms have been developed in order to minimize adverse effects. However, caution should be still recommended in ICD recipients when handling electrical devices. Here we describe the case of an ICD patient with recurrent syncopal episodes due to inhibition of pacing by oversensing of electrical noise from a not properly grounded washing machine.
