Event Description

It was reported that the patient had lightheadedness and near syncope.The device was checked, and it was noted that there was oversensing on the right ventricular (rv) lead causing the inhibition of necessary ventricular pacing, and false detection of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.Additionally, there was a lead integrity alert (lia) on the rv lead triggered by high rate non-sustained episodes and sensing integrity counter (sic).The lead was suspected to be fractured.Reprogramming occurred, and later the pace/sense portion of the rv lead was capped and replaced.No further patient complications have been reported as a result of this event.
