Abstract
A septuagenarian man underwent dual chamber pacemaker (DDDR - Boston Scientific Massachusetts, U.S.) insertion for a complete heart block. Intra-procedural lead parameters were within normal limits. Frequent multisite origin premature ventricular complexes were noted even on pre-procedural electrocardiogram (ECG). On the follow-up ECG one pacing spike on the QRS of the first beat was followed by two pacing spikes on the T wave with a total of three pacing spikes on the whole QRST of the first complex. What is the mechanism?
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
