Why the study?
Does the combination of an AICD and an antitachycardial pacemaker successfully terminate malignant ventricular tachycardias?
Does the combination of an AICD and an antitachycardial pacemaker successfully terminate malignant ventricular tachycardias?
The combination of an AICD and an antitachycardial pacemaker can successfully terminate induced malignant ventricular tachycardias before a defibrillator shock is required.
