Antitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia (VT) is associated with the possibility of
fibrillating the heart; on the other hand,(he frequency of VT and patient discomfort can limit …

The most effective antitachycardia pacing (ATP) mode is still a matter of debate.
Randomized prospective testing of 3 different ATP modes was performed in B5 patients (pts) …

The efficacy of antitachycardia pacing (ATP) incorporated into implantable cardioverter
defibrillators (ICDs) was assessed in 29 consecutive survivors of cardiac arrest, not …

Aims In patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), ICD shocks due to
ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) have been associated with an …

The main purpose of ICDs is to abort sudden death by delivering therapy at the moment of
tachycardia. Shocks accomplish this goal but are painful. Alternatively antitachycardia …

Importance Using more intervals to detect ventricular tachyarrhythmias has been associated
with reducing unnecessary implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies. Objective …

BACKGROUND: Appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy for
ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) depends, in part, on the …

BACKGROUND: Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) fails to terminate 5% to 25% of ventricular
tachycardias (VTs) occurring in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients. We …

OBJECTIVES This retrospective study was performed to provide data on ventricular
tachycardias (VT) with a cycle length longer than the initially programmed tachycardia …

Inappropriate implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) therapies can lead to significant
adverse events and increased mortality. These therapies are often the result of …
