Abstract

We describe the case of a 57-year-old man who had received a biventricular ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) 2 years previously for malignant ventricular arrythmia and cardiac arrest in the setting of ischaemic heart disease. He experienced inappropriate ICD shock with the use of a belt stimulation for muscle building.
