N2 - A 78‐year‐old man treated with amiodaronce for recurrent ventricular tachycardia, had soquential placement of a bipolar VVI pacemaker and an automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD). During defibrillation threshold testing, there was failure to capture of the pacer in the post‐shock period. The time of failure to capture appeared energy‐related: the greater the energy delivered, the longer the failure to capture. Careful attention will be necessary in constructing combined AICD/pacemaker units.
