Why the study?
Does noninvasive assessment using the atrial sense event marker correlate with Holter and invasive methods for measuring ventriculo-atrial conduction, and is the tachycardia termination algorithm effective for pacemaker-mediated tachycardia?

May support ASEM for noninvasive VACT assessment in pacemaker patients; leaves open need for larger validation before routine adoption.
Does noninvasive assessment using the atrial sense event marker correlate with Holter and invasive methods for measuring ventriculo-atrial conduction, and is the tachycardia termination algorithm effective for pacemaker-mediated tachycardia?
Noninvasive assessment of ventriculo-atrial conduction using an atrial sense event marker correlates well with Holter monitoring, and the tachycardia termination algorithm is effective for sustained pacemaker-mediated tachycardia.
