Intermittent P-wave non-tracking in pacemaker electrograms can be a sign of device malfunction or a benign response to advanced pacemaker algorithms. This review aids in differentiating these causes to avoid unnecessary procedures.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Electrophysiology
Background:
- Intermittent P-wave non-tracking is an uncommon finding in pacemaker electrograms.
- This observation can be misconstrued as device malfunction, leading to unnecessary investigations.

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
