Why the study?
Does simultaneous and sequential AV pacing prevent tachycardia induction in patients with paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia compared to atrial pacing alone?

Simultaneous or sequential AV pacing can effectively abolish or narrow the tachycardia induction zone in most patients with PSVT, though paradoxical facilitation may occur.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
AV pacing may modulate PSVT induction zones; Level 5 data leaves open generalizability and clinical utility pending controlled trials.
Akhtar et al. (1979) studied this question.
