Özet

Despite their proven efficacy at reducing mortality in selected patients, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have some proarrhythmic effects. In this report, we present a case of a patient with recurrent ventricular tachycardia degeneration to ventricular fibrillation by appropriate low-energy implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
