Does an implantable cardioverter defibrillator with biventricular pacing suppress drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia in a patient with severe congestive heart failure and ischemic disease?
Biventricular pacing via an ICD completely suppressed drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia in a patient with severe heart failure and ischemic heart disease.
GARRIGUE, S., et al. : Treatment of Drug Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia by Biventricular Pacing. In a patient with severe congestive heart failure and ischemic disease, frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia were completely suppressed by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator with biventricular pacing
Garrigue et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
