[Long-term electrical stimulation of tachycardias: control by ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring (author's transl)].
The Authors suggest a new method, elaborated by their own, for long-term antiarrhythmic stimulation. They used ambulatory electrocardiography in order to evaluate the results. It consists of a radio frequency device for synchronization and stimulation, and allows the scanning stimulation of all the cycle of tachycardia, with automatic search for the zone of interruption. The stimulatory is carried by the patient, who must set it in motion at the onset of the tachycardia. Preliminary results show the efficacy of the method; Holter monitoring seems to be the best guide to the development of a satisfactory implantable automatic tachycardia-terminating pacemaker.
