Unusual cause for pacemaker threshold elevation

Pacing threshold is an important entity which should be tested during pacemaker follow up. Abnormal elevation of pacing threshold would end up with early exhaustion of pacemaker battery. In this report, we described a patient with an unusual cause for threshold elevation. Learning objective: Pace...
