Inappropriate ICD Shocks in Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease Patients

Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have proven to be life-saving devices, there are frequent complications associated with their use, especially in the pediatric and congenital heart disease populations. Inappropriate shocks are a particularly frequent complication in these grou...

description Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have proven to be life-saving devices, there are frequent complications associated with their use, especially in the pediatric and congenital heart disease populations. Inappropriate shocks are a particularly frequent complication in these groups. This review discusses the causes and implications of inappropriate ICD shocks, and presents potential interventions that may assist in safely reducing the rates of inappropriate shocks in pediatric and congenital heart disease patients with ICDs.
