Seldom are reports of phase 4 block or bradycardia-dependent conduction block in atrial tissue found in the literature. Here, we describe the case of a patient with sick sinus syndrome with Torsade de Pointes who, following the implantation of a double-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator, developed intra-atrial bradycardia-dependent conduction block. The patient's optimal pacing parameters were achieved by raising the rate.
