• Cardioverter-defibrillator
• Inappropriate shock
• Dysfunction

A 61-year-old man has been implanted with a Ventritex Profile MD V-186 HV3 ICD for ischemic cardiomyopathy with sustained inducible VT. Three years later, this patient received several inappropriate shocks during the device%26apos;s interrogation. These shocks provoked ventricular fibrillation. They were caused by a failing soldering between the system random accessory memory (SRAM) module and the hybrid circuit of the device. The device was explanted in emergency.
