Video Transcription

Video Summary

This step is crucial to determine if there are any issues with the ICD lead that could explain why therapy was not delivered during the episodes. Reassurance alone or repositioning/inserting new leads without further investigation might not address the underlying problem. Reprogramming sensitivity is also not appropriate without ruling out lead integrity issues first.
