It was reported that this patient with the cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (crt-d) was admitted after experiencing a ventricular tachycardia (vt)/ventricular fibrillation (vf) storm.The vf did break after the shocks, but therapy was exhausted and the arrhythmia remained.Technical services (ts) reviewed and found the device had a delay in delivering therapy due to undersensing.There was also some loss of capture (loc) noted but the patient appeared to be conducting on their own.Thresholds were noted to be high on the right ventricular (rv) lead.The patient was also noted to be on multiple life support medications.This crt-d remains in service.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
