Implication

May trigger inappropriate shocks with this ICD-lead pair in atrial flutter; case report leaves open broader applicability.

Structured PICO

Population

2 patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) experiencing episodes of atrial flutter with a slow ventricular response and intermittent antibradycardia pacing

Intervention

Ventritex Cadence V-100 ICD in combination with the tripolar CPI Endotak 072 transvenous defibrillation lead

Outcome

Inappropriate ICD dischargessafety

Specific combinations of ICD sensing algorithms and integrated bipolar leads can cause inappropriate shocks during atrial flutter with intermittent pacing.
