Comparison of cycle lengths between induced and spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia during concordant antiarrhythmic therapy associated with healed myocardial infarction.
We propose that in clinical practice, whenever possible, the VT detection interval should be selected by adding >60 ms to the induced maximal VT cycle length in order to ensure a high sensitivity for the detection of future spontaneous VT episodes.
