High-rate overdrive pacing does not reduce SVT incidence; challenges prior suggestions of efficacy in refractory SVT.
Does high-rate atrial overdrive suppression pacing reduce the incidence of SVT episodes compared to low-rate pacing in patients with medically refractory SVTs?
Chronic atrial overdrive suppression pacing does not reduce the overall incidence of SVT episodes during prolonged monitoring in patients with medically refractory SVTs.
