Absence of shock therapy related to improper sensing of noise on the defibrillation test during subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator implantation: a case report

摘要

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (S-ICD) represents an efficient alternative to transvenous ICD in patients who do not require pacing. The intraoperative defibrillation test (DFT) is recommended during S-ICD implantation to confirm appropriate sensing and successful 65-J termination of induced ventricular fibrillation (VF). However, few cases of oversensing of noise inhibiting therapies have been reported.
