Ventricular tachycardia produced by a normally functioning AV sequential demand (DVI) pacemaker with "committed" ventricular stimulation.

چکیده
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.

Pacemaker syndrome during managed ventricular pacing mode: what is the mechanism?
A 51-year-old woman underwent implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker 10 years ago, for symptomatic intermittent second-degree type II AV block. She remained free of symptoms during follow-up. Recently, she underwent pacemaker replacement because of battery depletion (Adapta ADDR01, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). Given intact AV conduction at the time of intervention, the Managed Ventr...

متن کاملAtrial and Ventricular Pacing
The role of simultaneous and sequential atrioventricular (AV) stimulation in prevention of tachyeardia induction, and the underlying electrophysiologic mechanisms involved, were studied in 10 patients with documented paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Reentry circuit was localized to the AV node in seven of 10. The remaining three cases had Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syn...
متن کاملTermination of Paroxysmal Junctional Tachyeardia by Right Ventricular Stimulation
This report documents the use of right ventricular stimulation in the termination of a rapid junctional tachycardia. The tachyeardia developed in the background setting of heart block and bradycardia. Right ventricular stimulation was effective at 94/min, a rate considerably slower than that of the tachycardia. Analysis of pacemaker stimuli during the tachycardia defined ventricular refractory ...

A 78-year-old man was referred for pacemaker implantation due to symptomatic 3rd degree atrioventricular (AV) block. Neither the patient's history nor physical examination revealed abnormalities with regard to his cardiovascular status. Tachyarrhythmias such as intermittent atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia had not been documented in recent years, and the patient was not on medicat...
