In patients with intermittent AV block and dual chamber pacemakers, a long paced AV interval of 200 msec or more can be selected to prolong pulse generator life (by avoiding the ventricular pace output) and to enable a more physiological and hemodynamically superior activation sequence. This case report describes the potential risks of programming a long paced AV interval in a patient with a DDDR pacemaker. T wave pacing, as described here, can occur if the conducted QRS complex is not sensed because it occurs during the ventricular blanking period (delivery of the atrial stimulus). This can be initiated by the mechanisms that induce apparent and actual P wave undersensing of the conducted QRS complex. In this case report apparent P wave undersensing and subsequent T wave pacing with ventricular capture (in a patient with intermittent AV block) occurred frequently during an exercise test done in the DDDR mode with a paced AV interval of 200 msec, according to the clinical evaluation protocol.
