ANDERSON, M.H., ET AL.: Ventricular Pacing from the Atrial Channel of a DDD Pacemaker: A Consequence of Pacemaker Twiddling? The breakdown of pacemaker lead insulation under conditions of mechanical stress leading to failure of pacing is well recognized. We present a case where adjacent breakdown of insulation in two unipolar pacing leads resulted in inappropriate ventricular pacing. Replacement of the leads rectified the problem.
