Right coronary artery occlusion can lead to failure to capture from the right atrial pacing lead.
In this case, acute infarction resulted in failure of the right atrial lead to capture and thus
increased right ventricular pacing. The new ventricular pacing masked the diagnosis of
acute myocardial infarction.(Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)

Abstract
Right coronary artery occlusion can lead to failure to capture from the right atrial pacing lead. In this case, acute infarction resulted in failure of the right atrial lead to capture and thus increased right ventricular pacing. The new ventricular pacing masked the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
