pseudofailure Cardiology A finding on an EKG which simulates the failure of a cardiac pacemaker; in pseudofailure, the atrium is paced at a rate of ± 80 beats/min, and the ventricle responds normally to the atrial beats, which implies
that the AV node and bundle branches successfully carry the intrinsic cardiac pulses, and thus do not need the pacemaker's help. See Pacemaker. Cf Heart failure. How to thank TFD for its existence?
