A 62-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy (NYHA Class II, left-ventricular ejection fraction 29%) underwent implantation of a prophylactic dual-chamber ICD (Atlas DR V-242) 2 years ago. During a febrile illness, he received six shocks without premonitory symptoms. Diagnosis and management are discussed.
