- Authors
IP, JAMES E.; CHEUNG, JIM W.; MARKOWITZ, STEVEN M.; LERMAN, BRUCE B.
- Abstract
The article discusses the case of an 88-year-old man with a dual-chamber pacemaker who was observed to have spontaneous episodes of tachycardia that terminated after a pacemaker-mediated tachycardia (PMT) intervention. Topics covered include limitation of current PMT algorithms, example of tachycardia initiation and termination with PMT algorithm, and misclassification of atrial tachycardia as PMT.
