Inhibition of a dual chamber pacemaker by oversensing of far-field atrial depolarisation in a patient after His-bundle ablation

Neth Heart J. 2004 Dec;12(12):543-546.

Abstract

After His-bundle ablation, a 54-year-old pacemaker-dependent patient suffered from severe presyncopal attacks one year after pacemaker replacement. The attacks were caused by ventricular inhibition due to atrial far-field sensing during paroxysmal atrial flutter.

Keywords: atrial flutter; far field P-wave sensing; inhibition.
