Overview
An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is indicated in[1]:
- Patients who survive sudden death and symptomatic patients
- Patients with a family history of sudden cardiac death
Generally accepted criteria for implantation of an AICD also include:
- Inducibility on electrophysiologic testing
- Positive genetic test, although a negative result does not exclude the presence of a previously unreported mutation or the occurrence of a future arrhythmic event
Complications of AICD Placement
Inappropriate shocks may be delivered due to[2]:
- The occurence of tachycardias such as sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation.
- Oversensing of the tall, narrow peaked T wave
