A case of a pseudomalfunction of a DDD pacemaker.
DDD pacemaker pseudomalfunction occurred in a 65-year-old man. This was due to premature ventricular contraction (PVC) response option and cross-talk detection window, which are designed to protect against pacemaker related tachycardia or cross-talk. Pseudomalfunction disappeared by eliminating PVC response option.
