Thoracic Impedance Measurement In Heart Stimulation And Cardiac Arrhythmias
PACE-PACING AND CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY(2021)
Abstract
The electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is often a puzzling problem. The difficulty of the device function evaluation further increases in the presence of unfamiliar timing cycles and additional functions.We present an interesting ECG with a special function of a Biotronik ICD devices called the thoracic impedance monitoring, and demonstrate its behavior in a patient with atrial fibrillation, pacing beats, ventricular ectopic beats, and couple of ventricular beats. This report shows unexceptional occurrence of tricky ECG finding in patient with Biotronik ICDs.
