Unipolar Defibrillator?

PAVRI, B.B., et al.: Unipolar Defibrillator? An unusual case of “unipolar” pacing and myopotential oversensing leading to an inappropriate ICD shock in a patient with an implanted defibrillator is reported. The reasons for unipolar behavior in a system using a committed bipolar device are discussed....
