title: Radial artery catheterization causes pacemaker oversensing in rate-adaptive cardiac pacemakers.
abstract: Cardiac catheterization from radial artery access is observed to cause increased heart rate via oversensing in ipsilateral rate adaptive pacemaker. The mechanism of this phenomenon is discussed. This interaction was not observed in the setting of an implanted cardiac defibrillator.
