- Title

- Abstract
Oversensing of intracardiac signals or myopotentials may cause inappropriate ICD therapy. Reports on far-field sensing of atrial signals are rare, and inappropriate ICD therapy due to oversensing of atrial fibrillation has not yet been described. This report presents a patient with a triple chamber ICD and a history of His-bundle ablation who experienced asystolic ventricular pauses and inappropriate detection of ventricular fibrillation due to far-field oversensing of atrial fibrillation. Several factors contributed to the complication, which resolved after reduction of the ventricular sensitivity.
