During biventricular ICD implantation, pacing the epicardial inferior posterior‐lateral surface of the left ventricle via the coronary sinus produced asystole. The proposed mechanism is a Bezold‐Jarisch reflex manifested by a drop in heart rate and blood pressure through direct C fiber stimulation. (PACE 2004; 27[Pt. I]:815–817)
