Runaway pacemaker caused by a stuck accelerometer.
Abstract
We report a case of runaway pacemaker with a ventricular pacing rate of 190 beats/min. The runaway occurred when the accelerometer became stuck due to the magnet application during VVIR pacing. Runaways in modern pacemakers are particularly rare, but they do still occur. The best solution for this phenomenon is generator replacement.
