Sub-threshold Pacing to Prevent Pacemaker-induced Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias Clinical Trial

Official title:
Sub-threshold Ventricular Back-up Pacing to Prevent Pacemaker-induced Ventricular Tachycardia

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) may have the capacity to provoke or worsen ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). It has been reported that ICD shocks by itself can increase mortality. This study aimed to determine the role of back-up pacing-induced VT (PIT) to the overall ICD shock burden by avoiding pause-related ventricular back-up pacing by programming the pacing output to a sub-threshold level for ineffective pacing.
