CASE REPORTS

Incessant atrioventricular dissociation due to far-field QRS oversensing and recurrent mode switch in a dual chamber pacemaker

P. Maury, J. Schlaepfer, M. Arbane, G. Girod and L. Kappenberger

Division of Cardiology, University Hospital Lausanne, Switzerland

We report the case of a repetitive and incessant activation of mode switch in a dual chamber pacemaker because of the inappropriate sensing by the atrial lead of far-fields signals from the ventricular evoked response. The incidence, consequences and prevention of the oversensing of far-field QRS complexes are discussed. Copyright 2002 The European Society of Cardiology. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Key Words: Far-field QRS signal, mode switching, atrial oversensing, cross-talk
