Risk of defibrillation threshold testing in severe heart failure patient: A case of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) with acute myocardial infarction

Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing is usually recommended after device implantation to confirm appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)/cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) function [1,2]. However, induction of ventricular fibrillation may result in hemodynamic...
