title: Randomized, prospective comparison of four burst pacing algorithms for spontaneous ventricular tachycardia.
abstract: "Less aggressive" burst stimulation is more effective in terminating spontaneous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia with a lesser acceleration rate. Higher ventricular tachycardia cycle length and use of 91% coupling interval were independent predictors for pacing termination.
