Pacemaker Mediated Tachycardia as a Complication of the Autointrinsic Conduction Search Function
Why the study?
Does the autointrinsic conduction search function cause pacemaker mediated tachycardia in patients with DDD pacemakers?
Population
One patient with a DDD pacemaker featuring the autointrinsic conduction search (AICS) option

Implication
AICS may precipitate PMT in DDD pacemakers; single case leaves open prevalence and need for function modification.
Structured PICO
Does the autointrinsic conduction search function cause pacemaker mediated tachycardia in patients with DDD pacemakers?
P
Population
One patient with a DDD pacemaker featuring the autointrinsic conduction search (AICS) option
I
Intervention
Autointrinsic conduction search (AICS) function on a DDD pacemaker
O
Outcome
Pacemaker mediated tachycardia (PMT)safety
The autointrinsic conduction search function in DDD pacemakers can precipitate pacemaker mediated tachycardia by allowing retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction during prolonged AV delays.
