pubmed:abstractText |
A patient with marked first-degree AV block and a DDDR pacemaker presented with a history of paroxysmal narrow QRS tachycardia, subsequently identified as sinus tachycardia (with a very long PR interval), causing a clinical problem similar to pacemaker syndrome because of loss of AV synchrony. The latter resulted from an excessively long postventricular atrial refractory period (PVARP) that prevented sensing of sinus P waves. The unfavorable hemodynamics caused reflex sinus tachycardia. The long PVARP was mandated by the mode switching algorithm of this particular device and was automatically set according to the selected tachycardia detection rate. The patient became asymptomatic when the mode switching function was turned off and the PVARP shortened.
