What is Inappropriate Shock Delivery Due to Ventricular Double Detection with a Biventricular Pacing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator about?

**SCHREIECK, J., et al.: Inappropriate Shock Delivery Due to Ventricular Double Detection with a Biventricular Pacing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator.** This report describes a patient with advanced heart failure, pronounced intraventricular conduction delay, and ventricular tachycardias who underwent implantation of a multisite pacing ICD. Pacing leads were placed in the right atrium, right ventricular apex, and to the left ventricular posterior wall via a coronary sinus vein. The system proved to have correct sensing and pacing function in an atrial synchronized biventricular pacing mode and an appropriate detection of ventricular fibrillation. However, 1 month after implantation the patient received an inappropriate shock delivery due to double detection of ventricular premature beats. The inherent detection problem of dual ventricular sensing is discussed.
