Inappropriate discharges of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator secondary to automatic adjustable gain of atrial tachycardia.
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.
