Iatrogenic pacemaker-induced ventricular arrhythmia: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimizing right ventricular (RV) pacing to reduce the progression of heart failure is an established practice. Proprietary algorithms to reduce unnecessary RV pacing have been incorporated into both simple and complex cardiac pacemaker devices, for reducing the possibility of heart failure and arrhythmias.

Case summary

We present a case of a 43-year-old male implanted with a dual-chamber primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AUTOGEN EL, Boston Scientific) for sudden cardiac death. At the time of implant, the patient had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mild left ventricular (LV) systolic impairment, and sinus rhythm with intact atrioventricular (AV) conduction. The patient developed progression of his disease with symptoms (dyspnoea) and LV i
