Structured PICO

Can permanent programmable pacemakers effectively manage recurrent tachycardias through overdrive suppression or rapid ventricular pacing?

Population

Patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia, bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, or complete heart block with recurrent ventricular tachycardia

Intervention

Standard implanted programmable pacemakers with endocardial electrodes for long-term overdrive suppression or rapid ventricular pacing

Outcome

Control or conversion of recurrent tachycardias (ventricular tachycardia or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia)

Permanent programmable pacemakers offer a non-invasive method for managing recurrent ventricular and supraventricular tachycardias via overdrive suppression and rapid pacing.
