“…Multiple successive CEW applications from different devices may result in a similar outcome. The unsynchronized nature of the committed shock increases the likelihood of shock-related proarrhythmia ( 8 ), thereby resulting in risk for subsequent, appropriate ICD therapy. This risk of VF related to inappropriate shock may be additive to a previously described, low risk of VF related directly to CEW discharge ( 9 , 10 ).…”

Conducted energy weapon (commonly known as TASER) discharge in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators is known to cause electromagnetic interference and inappropriate ventricular fibrillation sensing without delivery of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators therapy during conducted energy weapon application. We report the first known case of conducted energy weapon discharge resulting in inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillators therapy. ( Level of Difficulty: Beginner. )

“…However, others have reported changes in polarity having no effect on defibrillation thresholds [28] especially in the case of biphasic shocks [29,30] . Other studies have suggested that there may be an optimal time to deliver the defibrillation shock during ventricular fibrillation [31][32][33] .…”
