- Authors
Nguyen, Thomas; Sieira, Juan; Casado-Arroyo, Ruben
- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 52-year-old woman with a history of non-ischemic left ventricular dysfunction and was brought to the hospital for cardiac arrest due to mild hypokalemia. The patient was found at home in ventricular fibrillation RYTHMIQ algorithm dual chamber pacemaker. The case shows the potential dangers of the RYTHMIQ™ algorithm in pacemakers associated with a number of inappropriate mode switches.
