Inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies due to supraventricular tachyarrhythmia (SVT) are a common problem. The authors report this case to warn of a possible detection problem and subsequent failure of deliver appropriate therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and a dual-chamber ICD using the PARAD+ algorithm. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of failure to deliver a shock in a dual-chamber ICD due to the PARAD+ algorithm.
