Figure 2 (A) P- and T-wave oversensing resulting in erroneous atrial fibrillation detection. Note, R wave is undersensed in this tracing. (B) Double oversensing of P and T waves and undersensing of some R waves, resulting in erroneous atrial fibrillation detection. (C) Over-detection of some P waves (third and fourth) and under-detection of some R waves (third and fourth) resulting in erroneous atrial fibrillation detection. (D) Over-detection of some P waves with correctly sensed R waves, resulting in erroneous atrial fibrillation detection. Note, Vn annotation is noise picked up on the loop recorder. (E) Adequate sensing with correct recognition of normal sinus rhythm following reprogramming of the implantable loop recorder’s settings.
