- Title
Limitations of the Algorithm to Reconfirm Ventricular Fibrillation in a Third-Generation Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator.
- Authors
Mattke, Sören; Kramm, Berthold
- Abstract
We report on inadequate shocks delivered by an ICD for VT converting spontaneously to AF with slow ventricular response. This represents a correct behavior of the reconfirmation algorithm, as the detection of intervals longer than the fibrillation detection interval and shorter than the bradycardia escape interval is required to inhibit the shock.
