Leadless pacemakers offer benefits but can interact with older devices. A minute ventilation sensor in a retained pacemaker interfered with leadless pacemaker communication, causing asynchrony. Deactivating the sensor resolved symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Leadless pacemakers are increasingly used to minimize complications associated with transvenous leads.
- Interactions between leadless pacemakers and pre-existing transvenous cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are an underrecognized clinical issue.
