Received 11 February 2009 published online 18 May 2009.
Abstract
Despite their proven efficacy at reducing mortality in selected patients, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have some proarrhythmic effects. In this report, we present a case of a patient with recurrent ventricular tachycardia degeneration to ventricular fibrillation by appropriate low-energy implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks.
