May compromise atrial tachyarrhythmia detection with high-sensitivity DDD settings; leaves open optimal device selection to minimize oversensing.
Bipolar ventricular far-field oversensing in the atrium is common with short postventricular blanking times and high atrial sensitivity settings, which may impact tachyarrhythmia detection and mode switching.
Fröhlig et al. (1999) studied this question.
