Ventricular safety pacing, ventricular sense response, and ventricular tachycardia.
The ventricular sense response (VSR) algorithm enforces biventricular pacing on ventricular sensing to maximize biventricular pacing in patients with atrial fibrillation. This report describes a case of recurrent ventricular tachycardia that may be facilitated by this enforced pacing algorithm.
