title: Spontaneous ventricular tachycardia treated by antitachycardia pacing. Cadence Investigators.
abstract: The database of the registry for an implantable cardioverter defibrillator was analyzed to determine the efficacy and safety of antitachycardia pacing for the termination of ventricular tachycardia. In 22,339 episodes treated, termination occurred in 94% and acceleration in only 1.4%.
