Transient under‐sensing of the ventricular lead during abdominal ultrasound as cause of ventricular fibrillation

Transient under‐sensing of the ventricular lead during abdominal ultrasound as cause of ventricular fibrillation

Pacemaker‐induced arrhythmias represent a very rare complication. Algorithm‐induced ventricular tachycardias have been described but this report is the first to describe a ventricular fibrillation caused by transient undersensing of the ventricular lead during an abdominal ultrasound.
