Subthreshold stimuli may terminate re-entrant VT; hypothesis-generating for slow-conduction mechanisms and should not change practice.
Does a subthreshold stimulus applied to the zone of slow conduction terminate re-entrant ventricular tachycardia?
Subthreshold stimuli applied to the zone of slow conduction can reproducibly terminate re-entrant ventricular tachycardia, providing insight into the electrophysiological mechanisms of re-entrant circuits.
Podczeck et al. (1988) studied this question.
