- Authors
Mahmood, Rafat; Gehi, Anil K.
- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 46-year-old man with a history of ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) on amiodarone therapy, chronic severe systolic heart failure, and Medtronic Claria CRT-D. It delves into the mechanisms behind the misclassification of ventricular tachyarrhythmia as sinus tachycardia, shedding light on the potential factors contributing to the failure of ICD therapy in this specific case.
