Loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here, we discuss the case of a man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation, who presented to emergency department with decompensated heart failure due to the loss of resynchronization therapy. The reason for the malfunction was left ventricle upper rate interval lock-in due to inappropriate programming of the device.

Development of ventricular fibrillation after implantation of a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator: what is the mechanism?
Syncopal spells in heart failure patient with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) require multiple assessments. T-wave oversensing is a well-described phenomenon that remains significant in modern implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) systems. It can lead to inappropriate therapies and loss of biventricular pacing in those with cardiac resynchronization devices. Strateg...
متن کاملDevice rounds: T-wave oversensing: A cause of loss of cardiac resynchronization therapy
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...

ver the past decade, implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device platforms have been expanded to include a host of new integrated device-based diagnostic capabilities.1 Parameters such as a sustained drop in intrathoracic impedance, reduced heart rate variability, high resting heart rate, decreased patient activity, prolonged periods of atrial...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
متن کاملT wave oversensing and low percentage of biventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
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...
