Abstract

Abstract : We report atrio-ventricular cross talk in a patient with a dual chamber ICD leading to ventricular pacing inhibition. This was observed in an ICD without the ventricular safety pace option, which normally is a sufficient protection against this phenomenon. Cross talk could be prevented effectively by reprogramming ventricular sensitivity to a less sensitive setting.
