The treatment of ventricular tachycardia using an automatic tachycardia terminating pacemaker

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE

Abstract

Implanted cardiac pacemakers may be used in the management of selected patients with ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to other forms of medical and surgical therapy. We would like to report the successful treatment of such a patient utilizing a new multiprogrammable automatically activating ventricular burst pacemaker. Thorough electrophysiologic study preceded implantation, and was instrumental in choosing an effective terminating technique, in identifying the need for adjunctive drug therapy, and in testing the safety and efficacy of the implanted system.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
