A reversed AICD pulse generator due to rotation along its long axis can be successfully interrogated using a modified 'left-handed' magnet test.
GERING, L.E., et al.: Modified Magnet Test for a Reversed Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator We present the case of a 55‐year‐old man with atrial septal defect and cardiomyopathy who underwent implantation of an automatic cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) for ventricular tachycardia resulting in collapse. This case demonstrates multiple unusual complications related to AICD, including rotation of the pulse generator unit about its long axis requiring a “left‐handed” magnet test to determine the appropriate counts.
