This tracing also reveals one of the limitations of automatic sensing on Biotronik^TM pacemakers. The maximum sensitivity value (2 mV) is not programmable and is not adjusted when ventricular events are of small amplitude, as in this patient (between 1.5 and 2.5 mV). It may therefore be necessary to program a fixed sensitivity with a higher sensitivity level (programmed sensitivity fixed at 1 mV for example). The recording of a periodic EGM can enable the diagnosis of dysfunctions that are not identifiable by the pacemaker such as an undersensing problem. The proper functioning of the various algorithms for preserving spontaneous conduction requires good quality atrial and ventricular sensing. This patient presented numerous inappropriate switching episodes related to this ventricular undersensing problem (false diagnosis of second-degree AV block, third-degree AV block or ventricular pause).
