Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are being used for primary and secondary prevention of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, and evidence suggests that increased use is likely in the future. ICD storm, the delivery of two or more shocks within 24 hours, occurs in 10% to 20% of patients who have ICDs and can have long-lasting psychological and physical consequences. An understanding of the factors associated with ICD storm, relevant assessment, and patient and family teaching and counseling can help clinicians to better meet the needs of patients who have experienced ICD storm.
