High rate episodes in a dual chamber pacemaker: What is the mechanism?

Detection of high rate episodes can potentially result from oversensing of physiological or nonphysiological signals. Assessment of lead integrity, lead connection and analysis of noise characteristics on electrograms are decisive steps in the evaluation of oversensing. We report a case of high atri...

Summary:Detection of high rate episodes can potentially result from oversensing of physiological or nonphysiological signals. Assessment of lead integrity, lead connection and analysis of noise characteristics on electrograms are decisive steps in the evaluation of oversensing. We report a case of high atrial and ventricular rate episodes due to minute ventilation oversensing in the presence of lead connector issues.
