Key result
A universal AV sequential pacemaker programmed in DVI mode induced pacemaker tachycardia at 150 bpm provoked by pectoral muscle myopotentials in a 67-year-old male.

Myopotential-triggered tachycardia may occur despite DVI programming; this case leaves open generalizability and mitigation strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights that myopotential interference can induce pacemaker tachycardia even in pulse generators programmed in the DVI mode.
GELDER et al. (1984) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to drug therapy (n=1). Universal AV sequential pacemaker (DDD,M) programmed in DVI mode was evaluated on Pacemaker tachycardia provoked by myopotentials. A universal AV sequential pacemaker programmed in DVI mode induced pacemaker tachycardia at 150 bpm provoked by pectoral muscle myopotentials in a 67-year-old male.
