Abstract
In summary, we have shown that acute BV pacing decreases the inducibility of sustained monomorphic VT in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, its effect on ventricular fibrillation remains unclear. Long-term BV pacing may diminish the need for antitachycardia therapy in patients with implantable defibrillators and may have an impact on mortality in patients with congestive heart failure.
