Myocardial ischemic hyperacute T-wave oversensing leading to a defibrillator shock storm.

We present the case of a 45-year-old man presenting with shock storm as a result of T-wave oversensing. Workup revealed a hemodynamically significant stenosis of the left anterior descending artery treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and drug-eluting stent placement. This resulted in the resolution of T-wave missensing and restoration of normal ICD functioning. PMID: 25829654 [PubMed]
