The 24‐hr electrocardiogram ( ECG ) interpretation in patients with double‐chamber pacemakers may be challenging. The difficulty increases if not well‐known pacemaker algorithm and device malfunction coexist. We show atrial synchronization pace ( ASP ) in a patient with ventricular lead damage. We provide detailed description of electrocardiogram and intracardiac electrogram. ASP may confuse 24‐hr ECG monitoring interpretation, especially in patients with ventricular lead dysfunction.
