| Abstract: | T-wave oversensing represents a common cause of inappropriate shocks in patients with implanted cardiac defibrillators. This case report demonstrates a strategy of device programming using V-V pace delay (sequential rather than simultaneous biventricular pacing) to eliminate T-wave oversensing without decreasing sensitivity to detect true tachyarrhythmia. |
