Event Description

It was reported that the defibrillation right ventricular (rv) lead exhibited high and undefined pacing impedance, artifact/noise, elevated sensing integrity counter (sic), variable pacing impedance and a lead integrity alert (lia) had been triggered.It was noted that an x-ray shows bends/kinks along the lead.Additionally, the epicardial rv lead exhibited t-wave oversensing (twos) post ventricular pace, elevated sensing integrity counter (sic), variable pacing impedance, elevated and high pacing threshold of which triggered an alert for high thresholds.Both leads remain in use.No patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
