Abstract:
Patients with severe heart failure often require both implantable defibrillator-cardioverters and left ventricular assist devices. There are known electromagnetic interference interactions between the 2 devices. However, mechanical interference has not been documented in the literature. This paper describes a case of mechanical interference of an implantable defibrillator-cardioverter from a left ventricular assist device.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
