May warrant caution during threshold testing after acute AF rate control; hypothesis-generating for transient QT effects.
Case Report (n=1)
Acute rate control of atrial fibrillation may cause transient QT prolongation, increasing the risk of pacing-induced ventricular fibrillation during threshold testing.
DAY et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (n=1). Ventricular pacing threshold testing was evaluated on Ventricular fibrillation. A pacing stimulus on the T-wave during ventricular pacing threshold testing induced ventricular fibrillation in a patient following acute rate control of atrial fibrillation.
