Inappropriate Defibrillator Shocks due to Mechanical Inference from an Investigational Device by Ying chi Yang, Thein Tun Aung, Abdul Wase

“…The principal mechanism is based on the stimulation of cardiac muscles by nonexcitatory electrical signals to augment the influx of calcium ions into the cardiomyocytes. The majority of patients receiving CCM therapy have concurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and the manufacturer declares both devices can be used in parallel without any interactions. …”
