Abstract:
T-Wave oversensing (TWOS) is a type of pacemaker malfunction that can result in inappropriate tachyarrhythmia detection and loss of pacing, attenuating potential benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We present a case series of TWOS after left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from 2020 to 2024. By analyzing underlying mechanisms and summarizing feasible solutions, we highlight the particularity and complexity of TWOS. It can occur immediately after procedure or be detected after a relatively long period of time. The harm of TWOS should be dealt with in a timely manner.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...
