AI Article Synopsis
- Transvenous lead failure is a significant issue in cardiac pacing and defibrillation, occurring in about 1-2% of cases.
- It often begins with oversensing of non-physiological signals, which can lead to problems like inappropriate pacing or shocks.
- The review discusses the causes of lead failure and suggests a diagnostic strategy to help identify and manage potential lead issues early on to prevent serious complications.
Article Abstract
Transvenous lead failure associated with cardiac pacing and defibrillation remains an important clinical problem, with an estimated incidence between 1 to 2%. Oversensing of non-physiological signals usually precede lead impedance changes and may result in clinical compliations such as pacing inhibition and inappropriate shocks. Device based algorithms that identify non-physiological signals can be used in conjunction with remote monitoring to facilitate early diagnosis and management of lead failure and avoid serious adverse outcomes. This review highlights mechanisms of lead failure and proposes a diagnostic approach to suspected lead failure.
