Abstract
Deep brain stimulation devices can disrupt cardiac rhythm interpretation by causing electrocardiogram artifact. We report the case of a deep brain stimulating device initiating ventricular fibrillation simulated electrocardiogram artifact in the prehospital setting. Mimicked ventricular fibrillation due to a deep brain stimulator has not been documented, and if unrecognized could influence unwarranted or potentially harmful clinical decisions.
