title: Single-chamber, rate-responsive pacemaker-mediated tachycardia.
abstract: The case of a patient with a unipolar VVIR, who developed a sensor-driven increased pacing rate at rest following pulse generator replacement, is presented. The cause was pectoral muscle stimulation, which triggered a sensor-driven rate response in the supine position. The possible causes and management are discussed.
