Offers mechanistic insight into VT termination but should not guide practice; leaves open translation to human reentrant arrhythmias.
Programmed electrical stimulation terminates reentrant ventricular tachycardia in a canine post-infarction model by inducing conduction block in the proximal zone of slow conduction.
El‐Sherif et al. (1987) studied Reentrant ventricular tachycardia in late myocardial infarction. Programmed electrical stimulation was evaluated on Mechanisms of resetting, entrainment, acceleration, or termination of reentrant tachycardia. Programmed electrical stimulation terminated reentrant ventricular tachycardia in a canine post-infarction model when a stimulated wavefront arrived early to the proximal zone of slow conduction.
