  • Title: Antitachycardia pacing and implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
    Author: Furman S, Mercando AD.
    Journal: Annu Rev Med; 1989; 40():123-36. PubMed ID: 2729924.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac pacing can inhibit or terminate a tachyarrhythmia but may also accelerate it to a more malignant rhythm. The automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) terminates ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation and has thus enhanced patient survival. The combination of the two may yet be the most effective means of controlling ventricular tachyarrhythmias and fibrillation.
