Shock. Representative electrograms of the episodes obtained upon device interrogation. (A) Appropriate ICD shock due to VF, (B) inappropriate ICD shock due to atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. ICD: implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, VF: ventricular fibrillation, AMP: amplitude, HV: high voltage shock, AS: atrial sensing, STIM: stimulation (antitachycardia pacing).
