A 45‐year‐old man with diagnosis of short QT syndrome underwent successful implantation of dual‐chamber implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) to prevent sudden cardiac death. Ten days after implantation, the patient was treated by inappropriate ICD discharges for frequent T‐wave oversensing. After careful reprogramming of the ICD, the T‐wave oversensing was eliminated and no T‐wave oversensing or inappropriate discharge was documented during 6‐month follow‐up period. (PACE 2010; 113–116)
