Abstract

Auto Capture Management (ACM) is useful in preserving battery longevity and in ensuring pacing. However, ACM sometimes leads to ventricular pacing with unsafe timing. We experienced a case of 30-yearold male with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in whom RV pacing was performed at unfavorable timing by ACM algorithm. We wish to emphasize the importance of looking at the electrocardiogram for the management of cardiac implantable electrical devices.
