Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oversensing occurs when the pacemaker perceives electrical current from sources other than the heart, such as muscle contractions or electromagnetic interference. This can cause unnecessary pacing or inhibition of pacing, leading to a loss of synchronization with the patient's natural cardiac rhythm.
