[Frequent atrial stimulation in supraventricular tachycardia].
Twelve patients with paroxysms of supraventricular tachycardia (8) and atrial flutter (4), in whom the method of frequent atrial stimulation was applied to restore the sinus rhythm, were observed. Three cases with the use of this type of cardiac stimulation are described. It is shown that the method is effective, relatively safe and has some advantages over electrical atrial defibrillation. The mechanisms of sinus rhythm restoration under the effect of frequent atrial stimulation are discussed.
