Abstract
A 58-year-old man with an implanted minute ventilation rate adaptive DDD pacemaker underwent RF ablation of the AV junction because of symptomatic supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Immediately after ablation, while the pacemaker was programmed in the DDDR mode, AV sequential pacing at upper rate was observed. After programming the pacing system to the DDD mode and repeated ablation, no abnormalities were observed. It was concluded that AV sequential upper rate pacing was caused by false interpretation of the RF current by the sensor measuring transthoracic impedance as an indicator for minute ventilation.Keywords
