Increased heart rate caused by atrial pacing with the closed-loop stimulation function prevented micturition syncope

A 70-year-old man had been experiencing syncope several times a year. We implanted a DDD pacemaker with closed-loop stimulation (CLS) function. When he urinated early in the morning, his increased atrial pacing rates elevated his heart rate (HR) during and after micturition. After implantation of th...
