An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator delivered an inappropriate shock due to a trigeminal rhythm misclassified as ventricular fibrillation. This highlights challenges in tachycardia detection and discrimination for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are crucial for managing ventricular arrhythmias.
- Tachycardia detection and discrimination algorithms are essential for appropriate ICD therapy.
- Misinterpretation of cardiac rhythms can lead to inappropriate shocks, impacting patient well-being.
