title: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator oversensing during periods of rate-related bundle branch block.
abstract: A patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and a dual chamber pacemaker experienced inappropriate ICD therapies only during periods of rate-dependent right bundle branch block. Analysis of both stored and real-time ICD electrograms was critical to correctly diagnosing the problem and offering a solution.
