Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia in an unconventional resynchronization device.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the atrial channel was detected.

Role of atrioventricular nodal ablation and pacemaker therapy in elderly patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an increasingly common condition in the aging population that can be difficult to treat with medical therapy. Tachycardia resulting from AF often results in symptoms, impaired quality of life and can lead to a tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy. When rhythm control and pharmacologic rate control are ineffective options, atrioventricular nodal ablation may provide a ...
متن کاملDelivering Electrical Therapies for Heart Failure
Implantable devices have become a readily available option for patients with heart failure. Not only do these patients develop bradycardia and ventricular tachycardia, but their ventricular dysfunction can often improve with cardiac resynchronization therapy. However, this is a complex and rapidly developing clinical science for which the physician chooses techniques and selects patients on the...

E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION It’s been over 50 years since the fi rst pacemakers were invented. Since then, important changes have been introduced concerning bradycardias, but also anti-tachycardia therapi...
متن کاملSynergistic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy and Bachmann's bundle pacing on heart failure with atrial tachyarrhythmias.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is electrical resynchronization of the ventricles. Bachmann's bundle (BB) pacing is considered to be electrical resynchronization of the atria. Atrial fibrillation (AF) and congestive heart failure (HF) often coexist in the same patient. A 69 year-old man who underwent CRT combined with BB pacing for HF and atrial tachycardias or atrial fibrillation (AF) ...
