Dual atrial rhythms: a case report of an unusual cause of pacemaker syndrome.

Regardless of the cause of AD, there must be electrical insulation between the two rhythms for their independent coexistence in the atria. Atrial dissociation can lead to pacemaker syndrome from automatic mode switching. If the sensing amplitude during sinus rhythm is significantly larger than that of AT, adjusting the atrial lead sensitivity would solve the issue, as in the present case. Otherwise, atrial lead revision, pharmacotherapy, or AT ablation should be considered.
