Anomalous pacing in a biventricular device due to spontaneous premature beats: What is the mechanism? (original) (raw)
2019, Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology
AI-generated Abstract
The paper examines the anomalous pacing mechanisms in a biventricular device as observed in a patient with a history of heart failure. Following the implantation of a right-sided biventricular ICD due to complications from breast cancer treatment, telemetry data revealed variations in paced beats after premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). The study discusses the importance of the left ventricular protection period in preventing inappropriate pacing, particularly in response to PVCs, and its implications for device programming and patient safety.

Cycle length alternans during ventricular pacing
Heart rhythm : the official journal of the Heart Rhythm Society, 2007
A 70-year-old man with a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was evaluated in the intensive care unit 10 days after aortic valve replacement. ECG showed cycle length alternans with pacing artifacts (arrows) prior to every other ventricular beat ). The RR intervals after the pacing artifacts were shorter (640 ms) than the RR intervals before the pacing spikes (690 ms), resulting in cycle length alternans. The sensing and pacing thresholds as well as the lead impedances were normal. The pacemaker settings were as follows: mode DDD, base rate 60 bpm, maximum tracking rate 90 bpm, maximum sensor
Electrocardiographic Patterns during Left Ventricular Epicardial Pacing
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2012
There is a paucity of data concerning the use of QRS morphology patterns for identifying pacing sites during left ventricle (LV)-only epicardial pacing in patients with a biventricular device. The objective of this study was to identify QRS patterns during LV-only pacing, and to establish their relationship with LV lead position. In addition, to validate the diagnostic performance of such electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns for predicting posterolateral versus anterior and apical versus nonapical LV pacing site.
Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia with varying cycle length: what is the mechanism?
Europace, 2009
Two months before the ablation procedure, the patient underwent a 16-slice spiral computed tomography (CT), which showed a typical pattern of dextrocardia as depicted in . In addition, the CT images were essential to understand the patient's anatomy: as shown in , the pulmonary veins (PVs) had a common trunk on the right side of the morphological left atrium and there were two separate pulmonary veins with early branching on the left side of the morphological left atrium.

A case of recurrent ventricular tachycardia produced by an asynchronous ventricular stimulus of a normally functioning "committed" atrioventricular (AV) sequential demand (DVI) pacemaker is described. The characteristics of these units are compared with those of the A variety of pacemaker-induced arrhythmias has been observed with the introduction of new cardiac pacing modes (1). With the advent of atrioventricular (AV) sequential demand (DVI) pacemakers, the electrocardiographic features associated with their normal operation have been studied and reported (2). In this report, we describe an abnormal event: the induction of ventricular tachycardia by a normally functioning DVI pacemaker.
