IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT PRESENTED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM (ER) WITH DIZZINESS, SYNCOPE, AND BRADYCARDIA. THE PATIENT IS PACEMAKER DEPENDENT. THE EPICARDIAL RIGHT VENTRICULAR (RV) LEAD WAS OVERSENSING AND CAUSING PAUSES IN THE PATIENT?S HEART RATE. THE LEAD HAD HIGH THRESHOLDS. TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED THAT THE EPICARDIAL RV ANODE LEAD WAS THE LEAD THAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. THE RV ANODE LEAD WAS SUSPECT OF A FRACTURE. THE PACING CONFIGURATION WAS PROGRAMMED FROM A BIPOLAR MODE TO UNIPOLAR MODE, EFFECTIVELY PROGRAMMING OFF THE RV ANODE LEAD AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. THE RV CATHODE LEAD REMAINS IN USE. THE RV ANODE LEAD REMAINS IN THE PATIENT OUT OF SERVICE. IT WAS FURTHER REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT HAD VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION (VF) THAT WAS RELATED TO PROFOUND BRADYCARDIA AND SHORT-LONG INTERVALS OF ESCAPE RHYTHM. THE PATIENT HAD AN EPISODE OF VF THAT REQUIRED EXTERNAL RESCUE. THE PATIENT WAS PRESENTED TO THE ER WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF PACING. THERE WAS NO PACEMAKER FUNCTION VISIBLE ON SURFACE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH (EKG) DESPITE MAGNET APPLICATION. THE LOSS OF PACING RESOLVED SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER A TEMPORARY PACEMAKER WAS PLACED. THE PACEMAKER WAS UNABLE TO BE INTERROGATED IN THE ER DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE CARDIAC MONITOR. THE PACEMAKER WAS LATER INTERROGATED IN THE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY (EP) LAB AND THERE WERE NO VENTRICULAR HIGH RATE EPISODES, ONLY AN OBSERVATION OF CHRONIC LOW IMPEDANCE WARNING IN THE RV EPICARDIAL LEADS. THE PACEMAKER AND THE CARDIAC MONITOR WERE REMOVED TO AVOID INTERROGATION INTERACTIONS. A NEW CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY PACEMAKER (CRT-P) WAS IMPLANTED. THE RV CATHODE WAS PLUGGED INTO THE LEFT VENTRICULAR (LV) PORT OF THE CRT-P AND REMAINS IN USE. THE RV ANODE WAS CAPPED. A NEW INTRAVENOUS RV LEAD WAS IMPLANTED. IT WAS FURTHER REPORTED THAT THE PHYSICIAN SUSPECTS THERE IS A CONNECTION ISSUE WITH THE Y-ADAPTOR CONNECTOR OR A CONDUCTOR FAILURE WITHIN THE ADAPTOR. THE ADAPTOR WAS REMOVED FROM USE.
