Abstract
The role of programmed stimulation of the heart in the study of tachycardias was first reported in 1967. 1,2 This was soon followed by the development of implantable pacing systems 3–5 for long-term treatment of reentry tachycardias by timed stimuli. Two basic types of pacemaker systems are available today: 1 for bradycardia support and 1 to interrupt paroxysmal reentrant tachycardias. Both types of systems have undergone considerable technologic refinement and sophistication in the last years. Bradycardia pacemakers, which have additional antitachycardia pacing modes, are being developed. Soon these additional features will be advertised as being of great benefit to the pacemaker population. This study determines the need for all pacemakers to have both antibradycardia and antitachycardia pacing capabilities.
