Abstrakt:	A Report of Two Cases. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have been a successful adjunct to the management of arrhythmias in patients with Long QT syndrome (LQTS). In two patients, interactions between LQTS and the lCD were diagnosed and corrected. Oversensing of T waves was confirmed in the first, while in the second, the arrhythmia disappeared when T wave abnormalities improved after cessation of H2 blocker therapy. In patients with LQTS and an lCD, T wave oversensing should be considered. Interventions that may have an adverse effect on repolarization should be avoided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
