- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 30 year old obese female patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, hypertension and heart failure who was referred to physicians for implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. A discussion of multiple shocks which the patient received from the defibrillator after implantation, and of the causes of tachycardia which led to the shocks, is presented.
