Title
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator and Inappropriate Therapy: "Black Box" Examination Yielded Both Human and Technical Causes
Abstract
We report on a 70-year-old male patient who was recipient of GEM III DR 7275 Cardioverter Defibrillator, and who presented with inappropriate shocks. The patient had a documented slow ventricular tachycardia (VT), and the device was programmed to detect VT at rates >100 bpm, fast VT (FVT, via VT) at rates >150 bpm, and ventricular fibrillation (VF) at rates >188 bpm. After detection of FVT, efficient therapy was delivered; however, this was immediately followed by multiple inappropriate therapies. Inappropriate therapies were discussed, with a focus on programming features.

Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesI have found the staff at Libertas Academica to be prompt and helpful in answering any questions. The My LA portal contained all the needed resources and guided me through the process of responding to peer review and copy editing. A comprehensive and author-friendly process—and very timely as well! I would recommend the journal 'Clinical Medicine Insights: Therapeutics' to others who have relevant submissions.
