  • Title: Using left-ventricular-only pacing to eliminate T-wave oversensing in a biventricular implantable cardiac defibrillator.
    Author: Khoo C, Bennett M, Chakrabarti S, LeMaitre J, Tung SK.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 2013 Feb; 29(2):254.e5-7. PubMed ID: 22902157.
    Abstract:
    A man aged 75 years and with nonischemic cardiomyopathy had implantation of a biventricular implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). Consistent biventricular pacing was limited by intermittent T-wave oversensing (TWOS). A strategy of left-ventricular-only pacing was used to eliminate TWOS. This strategy obviates the need to reduce ventricular sensitivity and thus may be an effective alternative to biventricular pacing complicated by TWOS.
