Article Synopsis
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead fractures are rare but can cause inappropriate shocks, and early occurrences post-implant are very unusual.
- A 53-year-old male with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy received an inappropriate shock just 4 days after ICD implantation due to a lead fracture, which was successfully extracted and replaced without immediate complications.
- Early lead fractures highlight the need for clinicians to be vigilant, and remote monitoring can help detect these issues promptly.
