TWO Much T-Wave Oversensing
12/19/2013
Bradley P. Knight, MD, FACC, FHRS
A limitation of implantable defibrillators is T-wave oversensing (TWO). Modern ICDs use filtering techniques to avoid sensing the T-wave. However, the T-wave can be large relative to the QRS in some patients and lead to double-counting by the...
