Why the study?
How can true atrial undersensing be differentiated from normal pacemaker operation in patients with DDD pacemakers showing dropped P waves?
Population
3 patients with AV universal (DDD) pacemakers demonstrating dropped P waves on ECG

May prevent unnecessary reinterventions via ECG differentiation in DDD patients; leaves open prospective validation beyond case reports.
How can true atrial undersensing be differentiated from normal pacemaker operation in patients with DDD pacemakers showing dropped P waves?
Careful electrocardiographic evaluation can differentiate true atrial undersensing from normal pacemaker operation, avoiding unnecessary reinterventions.
Mechelen et al. (1986) studied this question.
