Abstract
Antiarrhythmic drugs increase pacing threshold, but this is rarely of clinical significance. Administration of flecainide acetate in a 75-year-old woman with an implanted AAIR pacemaker because of sick sinus syndrome caused an abrupt rise of pacing threshold and failure of pacing. Pacing threshold returned to the normal value a few days after flecainide treatment was stopped.Entities:
