It was reported that this implantable cardioverter defibrillator (icd) showed a ventricular tachycardia (vt) event with therapies.During the vt episode, there was blanking period under sensing and possible right ventricular pace on t wave, which precedes the vt event, and possibly provokes it.Anti-tachycardia pacing attempts fail, but an electric shock converts the rhythm.It was recommended to reprogram the icd around rv blanking settings.The icd remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
