Factors that Influence the Ability of Pacing to Interact with Tachycardia In order for pacing stimuli to terminate reentrant VT they must first interact with the VT circuit. Josephson [2] has ...

DENVER — The SAVE PACe trial results indicated a 40% reduction in the relative risk of persistent atrial fibrillation with the use of dual chamber minimal ventricular pacing, according to Michael O.
