[Anti-tachycardia pacemakers: welcome alternative in the therapy of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia].
Antitachycardia pacemakers can detect paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (PSVT) and interrupt them automatically by atrial overdrive pacing. In patients with PSVT, antitachycardia pacing offers a therapeutic alternative to drug treatment. The authors present the long term follow-up in their patients and explain the indication for implantation.
