Abstract
After His-bundle ablation, a 54-year-old pacemaker-dependent patient suffered from severe presyncopal attacks one year after pacemaker replacement. The attacks were caused by ventricular inhibition due to atrial far-field sensing during paroxysmal atrial flutter.
Keywords: atrial flutter, far field P-wave sensing, inhibition
