Implication

May support antitachycardia pacing in device candidates; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.

Key Points

This review aims to assess the long-term efficacy of pacing techniques for terminating supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia.
Reviewed literature including 460 patients with 268 SVT and 192 VT cases.
Analyzed various pacing stimulation patterns from previous studies.
Evaluated outcomes based on pacing techniques used.
Achieved good-excellent results in 96.5% of the patients with VT and SVT.
Complex pacing algorithms may expand candidacy for device implantation.
Simple pacing patterns also demonstrated excellent efficacy.

Structured PICO

Does antitachycardia pacing improve termination of SVT and VT in patients with tachycardia?

Population

460 patients (268 with supraventricular tachycardia [SVT] and 192 with ventricular tachycardia [VT]) from reviewed papers

Intervention

Implantable pacers for tachycardia termination (antitachycardia pacing)

Outcome

Long-term efficacy of pacing for termination of SVT and VT

Antitachycardia pacing demonstrates excellent long-term efficacy for terminating both supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia.
