To rectify the issue, the ventricular lead sensitivity value was increased from 0.9 mV to 1.2 mV. No instances of inappropriate ventricular pacing inhibition were noted on follow-up. To our knowledge, this is a rare case of inappropriate ventricular pacing inhibition caused by a combination of PPM self-adjusting sensitivity algorithm and oversensing every 1 h and 30 s from an amplified storage capacitor. Physicians should be aware of this possible complication and differentiate it from device or lead malfunction.
