It was reported, that the patient with this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d).Entered in an intrinsic ventricular tachycardia episode.The device appropriately delivered anti tachy pacing (atp) and shocks.However, they were unsuccessful.The rhythm accelerated into a ventricular fibrillation.Which was initially undersensed.Which made the first attempt to deliver a shock for the ventricular fibrillation to be aborted.Eventually, a second attempt was performed.And a shock was delivered by the device which ended the episode.Reprograming of the device and defibrillator threshold (dft) test were discussed.This device remains in service.No further adverse patient effects were reported.
