December 2002 Medtronic, Inc. * Another LV Only Threshold Test. In this test, they started high and worked down. At 3 V there is one morphology. At 2.5V there is another morphology and at 2V that morphology is consistent. What else would we need to verify that this was anodal stim? We need to see the rest of the strip to see loss of capture.

The initial indications of a LV lead dislodgement are far-field P-wave sensing and elevated thresholds. An LV lead dislodgement may progress from a micro-dislodgement to a gross dislodgement of the lead. The indications of a gross lead dislodgement include failure to capture and loss of sensing of the LV on the VEGM. December 2002 Medtronic, Inc. * Note the first four beats in this threshold test. The VEGM shows a large sensing indication after the As event marker. The LV lead is sensing the atrial activity and the Vs is not associated with the QRS complex on the surface ECG. Also note that there is only one ventricular sense indication associated with the QRS. The RV is still sensing ventricular activity, but the LV lead has dislodged to a position where it is only sensing atrial activity. This scenario is different from the simple far-field P-wave sensing scenario because the LV lead is no longer sensing the ventricular depolarization and because the lead is no longer capturing (pacing at 7.5V yields an RV-only morphology on the ECG). December 2002 Medtronic, Inc. * A dislodged LV lead or a basally implanted lead can sense the left atrial (LA) depolarization. The key to identifying this issue is noting that the first Vs occurs before the onset of the QRS complex on the surface ECG. P-wave oversensing may be eliminated by changing ventricular sensiti
