Left and Right Ventricle Leads Switch as a Solution for T Wave Oversensing - How a Good Idea Turned Out Bad
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 50-year-old male with a CRT defibrillator received inappropriate ICD shocks due to T-wave oversensing. Decreasing the sensitivity to avoid T wave oversensing was not an option due to a suboptimal R-wave sensing amplitude. We decided to re-plug the LV lead in the RV port and the RV lead in the LV port. This however led to intermittent phrenic nerve stimulation due to mandatory bipolar (tip-ring) or unipolar (tip-can) pacing on the LV-lead from the RV port. Re-intervention was necessary with the implantation of an additional pacing/sensing RV lead. A software programmable choice to switch sensing and tachycardia detection from RV to LV lead could be a valuable feature in future CRT devices.

Hyperglycemia-Induced T-Wave Oversensing as a Cause of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Failure
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...
متن کاملT-wave oversensing during left ventricular pacing causing inappropriate defibrillation
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...
متن کاملCardiographic patterns in systolic and diastolic overload of the left ventricle.
In 1952 and subsequently (1959, 1960), Cabrera and his associates advanced the theory that the effect of diastolic overload of the left ventricle, such as occurs in mitral or aortic regurgitation, would have a different effect on the cardiogram from that produced by systolic overload, as in hypertension and aortic stenosis. They stated that in cases of diastolic overload there was an increase o...

Background: For the purpose of ascertaining myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia, the sensitivity of the initial 12-lead ECG is inadequate. It is risky to diagnose posterior MI using only precordial reciprocal changes, since the other leads may be more optimally positioned for the identification of electrocardiographic changes. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between electrocard...

A 5-year-old girl was admitted to the hospital with chest pain, fever and dyspnea. Physical examination showed normal heart sounds, diminished pulmonary sounds in the left hemithorax and a normal ECG. On chest X-ray the heart was slightly enlarged with moderate left pleural effusion. CT scan revealed pleural effusion and a hypodense mass at the apex of the heart. A cystic mass was detected...
