Rapid overdrive pacing of refractory tachyarrhythmias in patients after open-heart surgery

AJ Lurie, AF Salel, Z Vera, AN DeMaria, EJ Hurley and DT Mason

The efficacy of rapid ventricular pacemaker overdrive in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias is presented as a new approach to the management of these rhythm disorders inpatients after cardiac surgery. This mode of therapy is exemplified in the control of heart rate and return of normal sinus rhythm in patients with both types of tachyarrhythmias refractory to conventional antiarrhythmic agents. In addition, the pathogenesis and mechanisms of pacemaker overdrive in termination these rhythm disturbances are delineated.
