Automatic pacing threshold adjustment algorithms and remote monitoring are widely used to improve the utility of pacemakers and ensure patient safety. However, healthcare providers involved in the management of permanent pacemakers should know the potential pitfalls of these functions. In this report, we present a case of atrial pacing failure induced by the automatic pacing threshold adjustment algorithm that went unnoticed even under remote monitoring.
