Implication

Supports cautious antitachycardia pacing for SVT after testing; leaves open ventricular arrhythmia applications due to acceleration risk.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with tachyarrhythmias (supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular arrhythmias)

Intervention

Discrete pacing stimuli (single or multiple timed extrastimuli, overdrive pacing, burst pacing, and competitive asynchronous pacing) via patient-triggered or automatic devices

Outcome

Termination of tachyarrhythmias

Pacing devices are effective for terminating SVT, but require careful pre-implantation electrophysiologic testing due to the risk of accelerating ventricular arrhythmias.
