Why the study?
Does the slope of the resetting response curve correlate with the ability to terminate sustained ventricular tachycardia using programmed ventricular stimuli?

Steeper resetting slopes were associated with VT termination by extrastimuli; hypothesis-generating for conduction-slowing indices in ablation mapping.
Does the slope of the resetting response curve correlate with the ability to terminate sustained ventricular tachycardia using programmed ventricular stimuli?
The slope of the increasing portion of the resetting response curve correlates with the ability to terminate uniform sustained ventricular tachycardia by timed extrastimuli, reflecting the magnitude of interval-dependent conduction slowing.
Gottlieb et al. (1990) studied this question.
