I receintly was shocked inappropriately 60 times due to fractured Biotronik lead and Medtronic Virtuoso ICD. Never shocked before. Hospital failed to shut off device for 2.5 hours electing to wait for Medtronic representative to arrive instead, even though they were confirming heart was fine and there was no apparrant reason for being shocked. Do you know of anyone who can handle this case? Thanks.
