1. Atrial oversensing due to lead integrity failure (fracture, insulation failure) or connector problems between the header and the lead. 2. Atrial lead displacement: no evidence of microor macrodisplacement was found on chest radiography. 3. Asynchronous mode of pacing (VOO) due to magnet or programming: device interrogation ruled out this differential diagnosis. The device was fully functional in DDDR mode.
