Abstract
We report on inadequate shocks delivered by an ICD for VT converting s
pontaneously to AF with slow ventricular response. This represents a c
orrect behavior of the reconfirmation algorithm, as the detection of i
ntervals longer than the fibrillation detection interval and shorter t
han the bradycardia escape interval is required to inhibit the shock.
