| Abstract | Programming of antitachycardia pacing in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) has reduced inappropriate device shocks to terminate ventricular arrhythmia. This implies reductions in distress and pain for the patient and prolongs the useful life of the device. Arrhythmia detection and treatment with ICDs can be programmed according to the arrhythmia ventricular rate, discriminating between 2 detection zones: ventricular tachycardia (slower rhythms) and ventricular fibrillation (faster rhythms). We now know that antitachycardia pacing can also be effective in fast arrhythmia that has been treated classically with device intervention because it is classified within the ventricular fibrillation zone. There is some concern that with antitachycardia pacing, arrhythmia may accelerate and definite treatment by IMAGE IN CARDIOLOGY |
