In 2017, a pulse generator replacement was performed for elective replacement indicator status. At that time, CE was noted in the ventricular lead but the electrical lead parameters were normal, hence lead replacement was decided against and the patient was closely followed up thereafter. Four years later, the patient presented with multiple ICD shocks within 48 h. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator interrogation showed noise on the ventricular electrogram (EGM) channel that was detected as ventricular fibrillation (VF) episodes, triggering inappropriate ICD therapy (five ICD detected VF events within 24 h triggering three antitachycardia pacing therapies and one shock). Lead impedance and R-wave amplitude were within normal range in supine position but dramatically worsened in sitting posture. A new ventricular lead was implanted and the old lead abandoned. The patient has not experienced any device therapy in the follow-up period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>An electrically inert CE of Riata ICD leads needs close follow-up because an ELF may occur even after several years.
