pacing attempts for fast ventricular tachycardia: a prospective study'by RP Martins et al., on …

Background—Successful antitachycardia pacing (ATP) terminates ventricular tachycardia
(VT) up to 250 bpm without the need for painful shocks in implantable cardioverter …

Background: Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICD) can terminate ventricular
tachyarrhythmias with shocks (painful) or antitachycardia pacing (painless). According to the …

Purpose The purpose of the trial was to quantify and compare the efficacy of two different
sequences of burst anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) strategies for the termination of fast …

Background In patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), shocks are
normally used to stop fast ventricular tachyarrhythmias (FVTs). Since shocks are painful and …

Background Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can terminate some ventricular
tachycardias (VTs) painlessly with antitachycardia pacing (ATP). ATP has not routinely been …

The first implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device was developed by Drs Michel
Mirowski and Morty Mower, and successfully implanted in a human being at John Hopkins …

Multiple Bursts for Fast Ventricular Tachycardia Introduction An empirical sequence of burst
antitachycardia pacing (ATP) is effective in terminating fast ventricular tachycardias (FVT) in …

Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) strategies represent safe, effective, and painless therapy for
ventricular tachyarrhythmias, with a large body of clinical evidence supporting their routine …

Abstract Purpose of Review Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks, whether
appropriate or inappropriate, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Anti …
