Core Tip	The management of Riata defibrillator leads is complex and optimal treatment is often carried out on individual basis. These leads are prone to a unique failure mechanism: The conductors can externalize through the silicone insulation (“inside-out” abrasion) and appear outside the lead body leading to electrical failure. The potential role of high-voltage shock testing for these leads has been poorly studied, only sparse reports being available. In Riata leads the delivery of a low current during routine measurement of high-voltage impedance may not reveal a small short circuit, that can only be evident by attempting to deliver a true shock, either for spontaneous arrhythmias or in the context of a shock testing. Defibrillation testing (or alternatively synchronized shock) should be considered an important tool to check Riata integrity.
