“…Several modalities are available. The longest-term follow-up is available for devices that sense supraventricular tachycardia by rate criteria alone and deliver bursts of pacing of programmable length and rate in the atrium to terminate tachycardia [8]. More recently developed investigational devices allow the use of single or double extrastimuli, pacing with rate adapted to the actual tachycardia rate, and bursts of pacing during which the paced rate gradually increases.…”

Recent developments of both diagnostic and therapeu tic techniques in the management of tachyarrhythmias have broadened the options available to physicians car ing for patients with tachyarrhythmias. Newer diag nostic methods allow more precise identification of the arrhythmia and better understanding of its mechanism. Long-term epidemiologic studies have identified groups of patients who do and do not require antiarrhythmic therapy. Antitachycardia pacemakers and automatic im plantable defibrillators allow effective treatment for pa tients for whom drugs were ineffective or in whom in tolerable side effects developed. Finally, several new antiarrhythmic agents have become available recently. Proper use of these new techniques and drugs requires greater understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmias.

“…Although not a purely surgical method, the implantation of antiarrhythmic devices such as drug delivery systems (Anderson et al, 1982), antitachycardia pacemakers (Griffin et al, 1980), and defibrillators (Mirowski, 1983) are important alternatives to other therapeutic modalities. The automatic implantable defibrillator is currently the most important of these devices.…”
