Permanent pacemakers for ventricular tachycardia control: current status

  • Chapter
Ventricular Tachycardias

Abstract

Permanent pacing has been considered for the last two decades as an alternative therapy for the treatment of tachycardias [1–5]. Recent advances in pacemaker technology, the advent of new treatments for ventricular tachycardias such as surgery, automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and electrical ablation, make it necessary to evaluate the role of permanent pacing for ventricular tachycardia control.
