What is the incidence, cause, and management of ventricular oversensing in patients with implanted cardiac defibrillators?
Ventricular oversensing is a rare (7.3%) but potentially life-threatening complication in ICD patients that can often be managed with device reprogramming or trigger avoidance.
Rauwolf et al. (2007) studied this question.
