Abstract
Pacemakers respond to the physical activity of patients by increasing the heart rate to compensate for the increased demand. They sense the physical activity of the patient with the help of different types of sensors that work with different mechanisms. In this case, we are presenting a 74-year-old male who was experiencing intermittent chest pain and palpitations. Following interrogation, he was found to have atrial paced tachycardias due to a tracking of the atrial tachycardia.
