Chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) can be terminated reproducibly by
programmed endocardial right ventricular stimulation. However, antitachycardia pacing is …

Ventricular tachycardia is the most common life-threatening tachyarrhythmia seen in patients
with structural heart disease. In the past 10 years, many thousands of lives have been saved …

Background: Inappropriate shocks remain a problem in patients with defibrillators (ICD).
Objective: To evaluate a new discrimination algorithm for supraventricular (SVT) and …

The purpose of this study was to determine the termination and acceleration rates for 1 to 6
attempts of antitachycardia pacing (ATP) delivered by ICD in order to terminate …

To the Editor: Between 11% and 40% of detected monomorphic ventricular tachycardias
(VTs) in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have a cycle length (CL) …

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) serve to reduce the risk of sudden death;
however, ICD shocks worsen patient prognosis. Therefore, attempts have been made to …

Antitachycardia pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) were
implanted in 14 patients to control recurrent hemodynamically stable ventricular tachycardia …

Sixteen patients with recurrent, drug-resistant supraventricular (13 patients) or ventricular (3
patients) tachycardia were treated chronically by programmable extrastimulus pacing; either …

A pacing mode using automatically increasing number of stimuli with adaptive coupling
intervals was evaluated prospectively as a possible universal pacing mode, because a …

Many investigators have reported the use of various permanent pacemaking modes in the
long‐term management of patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia. 1–9 The three …
