Abstract
A 66-year-old male patient diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure with reduced EF (32%), and complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) received cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)-D implantation. Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) was successfully performed, but during the follow-up 6 weeks later, the electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a sinus rhythm tracked by ventricular pacing with a ratio of approximately 2:1 due to T-wave over-sensing, which might be caused by the changes in T-wave morphology due to electrotonic modulation and hyperkalemia or by the lower sensitivity threshold set by the auto sensing algorithm of the ICD. Shortening post-ventricular atrial refractory period (PVARP) restored the ventricular pacing tracking of the atrium, and the T-wave changes improved as time went by.
期刊介绍:
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
