As new algorithms are being developed to promote intrinsic atrioventricular conduction in preventing the deleterious effects of right ventricular pacing, more complex rhythm strips can be encountered. In our patient with a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, such an algorithm resulted in a pacemaker-mediated tachycardia with several changes in cycle length.
