- Abstract
This case report highlights a previously unreported cause of T wave oversensing in a patient with an ICD and recent onset diabetes. Consistent T wave oversensing was observed at elevated serum glucose levels and this finding was reproduced with a glucose challenge. No T wave oversensing was seen during treatment of hyperglycemia. Alterations in serum chemistry may account for intermittent T wave oversensing in patients with ICDs.
