Abstract
Objectives
Two patients were received ICDs (Biotronic Iforia7 VR-TDX). Holter analysis revealed pacing spikes, which occurred regularly at 100 ms intervals following QRS complexes, with consecutive 1024 test pulses at hourly intervals during a specific time, and the VP was 0%.
Methods
By analyzing the dynamic electrocardiogram and consulting relevant literature, it was found that this is a feature of the ICD that measures thoracic impedance.
Results
This phenomenon is a special function for the purpose of transthoracic impedance measurement, which can monitor the heart failure.
Conclusions
This phenomenon should not be regarded as an interference signal or an abnormal sign of pacemaker malfunction.
期刊介绍:
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
