Abstract

A fast ventricular tachycardia was apparently induced in a patient with a CRT-D device by the delivery of a pacemaker stimulus whose timing corresponded with the timing of the QRS complex in the far-field electrogram. Appropriate programming of the device might have prevented this complication.
