May warrant vigilance for automatic gain-induced asystole in ICD patients; case report leaves open broader device safety implications.
Case Report (n=1)
The automatic gain feature in third-generation implantable cardioverter defibrillators can cause prolonged ventricular asystole by inappropriately sensing far-field atrial activity and inhibiting ventricular pacing.
Curwin et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Patient with a third-generation implantable cardioverter defibrillator (n=1). Automatic gain feature in a third-generation cardioverter defibrillator was evaluated on Prolonged ventricular asystole. An automatic gain feature in a third-generation cardioverter defibrillator caused prolonged ventricular asystole due to far-field sensing of atrial activity and inhibition of ventricular pacing.
