Abstract

The effect of noise from the deep brain stimulator (DBS) or neurologic symptoms of hereditary dystonia on the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) remains unknown. Therefore, herein, we present the first case of S-ICD implantation in a patient with hereditary dystonia who underwent DBS.

Keywords: deep brain stimulation; hereditary dystonia; subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; sudden cardiac death; ventricular fibrillation.
