Optimizing Antitachycardia Pacing
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) substantially reduce sudden cardiac death. Paradoxically, even though ICDs are implanted to prevent sudden cardiac death by delivering therapies, appropriate and inappropriate ICD shocks have been associated with an increased risk of mortality.1 However, patients treated with ICD shocks show even poorer survival than patients treated with antitachy...
متن کامل[Antitachycardia pacing efficacy significantly improves with cardiac resynchronization therapy].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on antitachycardia pacing still has to be determined. PATIENTS AND METHOD A total of 490 heart failure patients with an indication for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator participated in the VENTAK CHF/CONTAK CD study, a single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. We compared antitachycardia pacing effic...
متن کاملAntitachycardia pacing for ventricular tachycardia using implantable cardioverter defibrillators:.
Antitachycardia pacing (ATP) refers to the use of pacing stimulation techniques for termination of tachyarrhythmias. Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in painful shocks may improve patient quality-of-life (QOL) and extend ICD pulse generator...
متن کاملAntitachycardia pacing programming in implantable cardioverter defibrillator: A systematic review
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) programming involves several parameters. In recent years antitachycardia pacing (ATP) has gained an increasing importance in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias, whether slow or fast. It reduces the number of unnecessary and inappropriate shocks and improves both patient's quality of life and device longevity. There is no clear indication regard...
متن کاملEffect of atrial antitachycardia pacing treatments in patients with an atrial defibrillator: randomised study comparing subthreshold and nominal pacing outputs.
OBJECTIVE To assess the true efficacy of antitachycardia pacing on spontaneous persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with an implanted atrial defibrillator, by comparing the effects of nominal pacing treatment with subthreshold pacing treatment. DESIGN The effects of antitachycardia pacing and burst 50 Hz atrial pacing on spontaneous atrial arrhythmias were evaluated six months after imp...
