T wave oversensing (TWOS) is the most common cause of inappropriate shocks in subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD). We are presenting a patient with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy who received a S-ICD while on antiplatelets therapy. Pressure dressing was applied due to significant bleeding. On the first postoperative day, the device delivered 26 inappropriate shocks after removal of the pressure dressing. Interrogation revealed new TWOS, likely related to changes in the sensing vectors after hematoma formation.
T波过度感知(TWOS)是皮下植入式心律转复除颤器(S-ICD)不适当电击的最常见原因。我们报告一例严重缺血性心肌病患者,在接受抗血小板治疗期间植入了S-ICD。由于大量出血,使用了加压包扎。术后第一天,去除加压包扎后,该装置发出了26次不适当电击。问询显示出现了新的T波过度感知,可能与血肿形成后感知向量的变化有关。
