He was referred because of post-operative presyncope symptoms. Electrocardiography revealed atrial standstill and junctional rhythm (JR); however, EAM revealed that both atria were almost entirely scarred and isolated fibrillation in left pulmonary veins and coronary sinus. Junctional rhythm retrogradely conducted around an atrioventricular (AV) node and pacing at this area could conduct to the ventricle through the AV node. An atrial pacing lead was implanted at this area, which yielded a QRS wave similar to the own beat. However, the atrial lead voltage was quite low; hence, ventricular pacing lead was implanted to avoid a future occurrence of pacing failure.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
