May avert inappropriate ICD therapy from atrial undersensing in one case; leaves open generalizability and need for validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Adjusting atrial sensitivity can resolve inappropriate ICD therapy caused by atrial undersensing during supraventricular tachycardia.
Paraskevaidis et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy (n=1). Decreasing the atrial sensitivity value was evaluated on Resolution of inappropriate therapy. Decreasing the atrial sensitivity value resolved inappropriate ICD therapy caused by the device misinterpreting supraventricular tachycardia as ventricular tachycardia due to unsensed P waves.
