What is the incidence and nature of ventriculoatrial conduction in patients undergoing dual chamber pacemaker implantation?
Intraoperative assessment of ventriculoatrial conduction can guide optimal programming of dual chamber pacemakers to prevent endless loop tachycardia.
Klementowicz et al. (1986) studied this question.
