Title: Endless loop tachycardia in an AV universal [DDD] pacemaker. Author: Furman S, Fisher JD. Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 1982 Jul; 5(4):486-9. PubMed ID: 6180386. Abstract: Implantation of an AV universal [DDD] pacemaker, stimulating and sensing both atrium and ventricle caused a pacemaker mediated tachycardia, begun by a P wave occurring after a premature ventricular contraction, and sustained by P waves caused by retrograde AV conduction. The tachycardia was terminated by application of a magnet to the pulse generator which temporarily made it insensitive to incoming signals, both P and QRS.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
