  • Title: Inhibition of bradycardia pacing and detection of ventricular fibrillation due to far-field atrial sensing in a triple chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
    Author: Vollmann D, Lüthje L, Görtler G, Unterberg C.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 2002 Oct; 25(10):1513-6. PubMed ID: 12418750.
    Abstract:
    Oversensing of intracardiac signals or myopotentials may cause inappropriate ICD therapy. Reports on far-field sensing of atrial signals are rare, and inappropriate ICD therapy due to oversensing of atrial fibrillation has not yet been described. This report presents a patient with a triple chamber ICD and a history of His-bundle ablation who experienced asystolic ventricular pauses and inappropriate detection of ventricular fibrillation due to far-field oversensing of atrial fibrillation. Several factors contributed to the complication, which resolved after reduction of the ventricular sensitivity.
