Abstract
Herein we report the case of a patient who was admitted in ventricular tachycardia after having received multiple ineffective (and sometimes pro-arrhythmic) high-energy internal shocks from his ICD and who was finally successfully treated by a commanded low-energy internal cardioversion of 0.6Â J. This article revisits the use of low-energy shocks and discusses their electrophysiogical mechanisms and clinical implications.
