Abstract
Tachycardia detection and therapy algorithms in Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICD) reduce, but do not eliminate inappropriate ICD shocks. Awareness of the pros and cons of a particular algorithm helps to predict its utility in specific situations. We report a case where PR logicâ¢, an algorithm commonly used in currently implanted ICDs to differentiate supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) from ventricular tachycardia resulted in inappropriate detection and shock for an SVT, and discuss several solutions to the problem.
