    Notes: VARMA, N., et al.: Central Venous Access Resulting in Selective Failure of ICD Defibrillation Capacity. In a patient with a defibrillator system incorporating a lead with integrated bipolar sensing, physical contact between a guidewire (inserted for venous access) and the right ventricular defibrillation coil created sensing artefacts that triggered an inappropriate discharge. The presence of the guidewire in the heart during the discharge resulted in an electrical short with irreversible damage to the generator and rendered it incapable of delivering further high voltage therapy.

    Flecainide (1994)

    Notes: Flecainide. Flecainide is a Class IC antiarrhythmic agent whose primary electrophysiologic effect is a slowing of conduction in a wide range of cardiac tissues. It is well absorbed and effective in suppressing isolated premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or nonsustained ventricular arrhythmia but has only a modest efficacy when electrophysiologic testing is used as an endpoint. Us adverse effect on mortality in the CAST trial suggested a propensity to proarrhythmia-a phenomenon to which the Class IC agents appear particularly prone. Despite the applicability of the CAST study only to patients with a prior myocardial infarction, there has been a shift away from flecainide in ventricular arrhythmia, but the low noncardiac side effect profile of the agent allows for its continued use in a wide variety of supraventricular arrhythmias.
