Electromagnetic Interference from Swimming Pool Generator Current Causing Inappropriate ICD Discharges

Figure 2

ICD histogram showing evidence of AC voltage current with a mean cycle length of 120 millisec requiring an electrical shock with resultant termination. This data lead to the diagnosis of alternating current (AC) interference by the ICD in proximity to the electrical generator, which was interpreted as a ventricular arrhythmia leading to inappropriate shock.
