Key result
Overdrive pacing of triggered atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in canine models consistently shortened recovery intervals and increased inducibility at faster drive rates.
Why the study?
Does overdrive pacing elicit consistent electrophysiologic responses in triggered atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in canine models?
Does overdrive pacing elicit consistent electrophysiologic responses in triggered atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in canine models?
Overdrive pacing elicits consistent electrophysiologic responses in diverse triggered arrhythmias in canine models, suggesting its potential utility in clinically differentiating triggered rhythms from reentry.

First in situ identification of triggered atrial arrhythmias in canines; leaves open translation to human mechanisms and pacing diagnostics.
Malfatto et al. (1988) studied Triggered atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Overdrive pacing was evaluated on Recovery intervals and inducibility of paced rhythms. Overdrive pacing of triggered atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in canine models consistently shortened recovery intervals and increased inducibility at faster drive rates.
