Automated capture management failure leading to ventricular fibrillation: Is automatic capture management for all or personalized pacing programming?

Key Result

Automated ventricular capture management failure in a patient with a CRT-D device resulted in a rare case of pacing-induced proarrhythmia and ventricular fibrillation.

Key Points

• The case aims to investigate the implications of automated capture management failure in pacing-induced proarrhythmia.
• Review of a rare case involving automated ventricular capture management
• Monitoring of cardiac rhythms in an individual with CRT-D
• Assessment of pacing-related complications
• Development of ventricular fibrillation due to capture failure
• Identification of pacing-induced proarrhythmia
• Discussion on the necessity of personalized pacing programming
