It was reported that electrogram (egm) review of two ventricular episodes was requested for this cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) system.Upon review, the first episode contained ventricular tachycardia (vt) that anti-tachycardia pacing (atp) degraded into ventricular fibrillation (vf), and was later converted with a delivered shock.The second episode began as organized vt that then degraded.A shock was delivered that made the rhythm more organized, but did not convert.The patient received 5 shocks, and the fifth shock converted the rhythm.Therapy was not exhausted.This crt-d remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
