  • Title: Inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock from a transcutaneous muscle stimulation device therapy.
    Author: Siu CW, Tse HF, Lau CP.
    Journal: J Interv Card Electrophysiol; 2005 Jun; 13(1):73-5. PubMed ID: 15976983.
    Abstract:
    Inappropriate shock from implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) may result from external electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially for unipolar ventricle sensing. Previous case reports and small in-vitro safety study suggested that endocardial bipolar lead system may be immune from EMI resulting from transcutaneous electrical neuromuscle stimulation (TENS) therapy. This report presents an unusual case of inappropriate discharge in a patient with ICD of endocardial bipolar lead system, receiving TENS from a commercially available device.
