The risk of inappropriate shocks from LVADs should be considered in pre-existing patients with S-ICD, particularly when the heartware ventricular assist device or HeartMate III LVAD device is present. Reprogramming of the sensing vector can occasionally avoid this issue but often the S-ICD needs to be inactivated.
