Primary mode preference supports sustained protocol effectiveness in refractory atrial tachyarrhythmias; leaves open need for randomized outcome confirmation.
Does the primary antitachycardia response protocol of an atrial antitachycardia pacemaker maintain sustained effectiveness in patients with medically refractory atrial tachyarrhythmias?
The primary antitachycardia response protocol of an atrial antitachycardia pacemaker demonstrates sustained long-term effectiveness for treating medically refractory atrial tachyarrhythmias.
