title: Inappropriate discharges of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator secondary to automatic adjustable gain of atrial tachycardia.
abstract: Third generation implantable cardioverter defibrillators are capable of complex arrhythmia detection using sensing algorithms with automatic adjustable gain settings. We report a unique case where inappropriate sensing of atrial tachycardia in a patient with a His bundle ablation lead to satisfaction of ventricular fibrillation detection criteria.
