Unusual adverse consequence of reverse ventricular remodelling following cardiac resynchronization therapy

Europace. 2012 Aug;14(8):1216-7. doi: 10.1093/europace/eur422. Epub 2012 Jan 20.

Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapy has been shown to produce reverse ventricular remodelling in patients with severe heart failure. We report an unusual case of T-wave oversensing, most likely as a consequence of reverse ventricular remodelling resulting in change of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead redundancy.
