NONPHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY OF TACHYARRHYTHMIAS
Electrical or surgical therapy may be useful in some patients with supraventricular or ventricular tachyarrhythmias (Table 8-8). Pacemakers activated by the patient or automatically when the pacemaker senses tachycardia can deliver timed single or multiple extrastimuli to the atrium, ventricle, or both chambers to interrupt the tachycardia circuit and terminate the arrhythmia. Before implantation, detailed electrophysiological evaluation should be performed to determine the pacing protocol that most safely and reliably terminates the tachycardia.
