"Unreasonable" ventricular pacings

Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol. 2021 Mar;26(2):e12793. doi: 10.1111/anec.12793. Epub 2020 Aug 21.

Abstract

A 66-year-old man, implanted Abbott dual-chamber pacemaker, was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent palpitation. ECG was recorded on admission, which created a diagnostic confusion: What accounts for the appearance of the VP in the setting of a stable intrinsic atrioventricular (AV) conduction? In this case, we will focus on the logical reasoning in the analysis of Pacing ECG.

Keywords: electrocardiography; implantable devices; noninvasive techniques; pacemaker mediated tachycardia.
