Why the study?

Does electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy cause electromagnetic interference and inappropriate discharge in patients with different types of ICD sensing circuits?

Population

2 patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators undergoing electrical muscle stimulation therapy

Comparison

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy vs Comparison between epicardial screw-in bipolar…

Implication

EMS may cause inappropriate ICD discharge with epicardial leads; hypothesis-generating for endocardial true bipolar sensing safety.

Does electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy cause electromagnetic interference and inappropriate discharge in patients with different types of ICD sensing circuits?

Population

2 patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) undergoing electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy

Intervention

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) therapy

Comparator

Comparison between epicardial screw-in bipolar sensing leads and endocardial true bipolar sensing

Outcome

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) causing inappropriate ICD dischargesafety

Electrical muscle stimulation can cause electromagnetic interference leading to inappropriate ICD discharge in patients with epicardial screw-in bipolar sensing leads, but may be safe in those with endocardial true bipolar sensing.
