Appropriate and Inappropriate Electrical Therapies Delivered by an Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator: Effect on Intracardiac Electrogram

Intracardiac EGM After ICD Therapies. Introduction: Local injury current (LIC) seen after induced ventricular fibrillation rescue implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) shock predicts heart failure progression. We sought to determine the frequency of LIC after spontaneous events in patients receiving ICD therapies.
