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...
