Popis:	Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) testing in patients with left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) at the time of implantation and potential difficulties with ventricular fibrillation (VF) induction/termination in LVNC patients are often not stated in the literature. This report describes the failure of transvenous implantation of an ICD in a 40-year-old patient with LVNC and polycystic kidneys. A high defibrillation threshold (DFT) prevented termination of ICD-induced VF. This case suggests that DFT testing should be considered in any LVNC patient during ICD implantation. The association of LVNC and polycystic kidneys is also discussed.
