Abstract
Failure to sense ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) is an important clinical problem associated with the use of the automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD). The causes reported have been the use of unipolar pacemakers in conjunction with the AICD and the variability of bipolar epicardial electrograms.1,2 The present report describes a patient whose AICD, after failing to sense VT following open-heart surgery, subsequently sensed it 6 weeks later.
