Arrhythmia Diagnosis Following an ICD Shock: Part II

Abstract

In ICD systems that incorporate biventricular pacing, lack of univentricular sensing capability, as in this case, will lead to double counting and ICD shocks for slow ventricular arrhythmias. The newer generation cardiac resynchronization ICDs will overcome this issue by limiting sensing to the right ventricular channel.
