Repeated misclassifications of tachycardia by an implantable cardiac defibrillator

This case describes repeated misclassifications of SVT due to AV node reentry as VT by an ICD. This case illustrates the limitations of SVT-VT discrimination algorithm. Careful analysis of the stored tracings is of critical importance to reach the correct diagnosis. Keywords: Tachycardia, Atrioventr...
