How does rapid ventricular pacing alter activation sequences to reset, perpetuate, or terminate reentrant ventricular tachycardia in a canine myocardial infarction model?
This preclinical study provides direct epicardial mapping evidence for the electrophysiological mechanisms by which rapid pacing resets, perpetuates, or terminates reentrant ventricular tachycardia.
Ogawa et al. (1988) studied this question.
