Excerpt

A 65-year-old woman with a cardiac resynchronisation therapy-defibrillator underwent routine device interrogation, revealing abnormalities in the atrial lead (reduced amplitude and occasional detection failure) and the right ventricular lead (increased pacing threshold) 13 months post-implantation. This prompted a chest X‑ray due to suspected lead dislodgement (Fig. 1b).
