T wave oversensing and low percentage of biventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The success of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) depends on a high percentage of ventricular pacing. We present the electrocardiography and electrograms of a patient who underwent an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with CRT implantation showing a low percentage of ventricular pacing as a result of T wave oversensing of paced QRS. The patient showed no clinical improvement. We suggest finding a good sensitivity of F waves in induced ventricular fibrillation during ICD implantation in order to overcome the harm of possible oversensing.

T-wave oversensing occurs when the counter starts giving dual beeps for every cardiac cycle instead of one. This usually happens when the monitoring lead displays a tall T wave, which is also sharp. R wave sensing algorithms of the devices do not sense T wave because the slow rate of the T wave is much less than that of the R wave. But the slow rate of T waves may change with time and also beca...

A CRT-D patient presented with loss of biventricular pacing associated with heart failure symptoms. The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with alternating wide unpaced and narrower paced QRS complexes. Device interrogation showed T-wave oversensing on all paced biventricular beats, with the following sinus P-wave not tracked due to it falling in the post-ventricular atrial refractory period...

Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with left ventricular (LV)-only pacing has emerged as an alternative to biventricular (Bi-V) pacing used to synchronize ventricular contraction by timing LV pacing with intrinsic right ventricular (RV) conduction. Additionally, RV pacing is minimized, improving device longevity. Despite its benefits, LV pacing may not the best modality for al...

A 67-year-old male patient with heart failure and permanent atrial fibrillation underwent atrio-ventricular nodal ablation and a biventricular device implantation. Instead of a standard cardiac resynchronization therapy device, a DDD pacemaker was implanted with the left ventricular lead in the atrial channel. After the implant, a pacemaker-mediated tachycardia caused by T wave oversensing by t...

A 66-year-old man with a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D: Quadra Assura 3367-40QC, St. Jude Medical Inc.) experienced asymptomatic intermittent inhibition of biventricular pacing, mainly after meals. All measured parameters of the true bipolar ventricular lead (Durata 7122Q, St. Jude Medical Inc.) were in the normal range and general provocative maneuvers could not reprod...
