Abstract
The effect of carotid sinus stimulation on a tachyarrhythmia, or sometimes the absence of an effect, can be helpful in differential diagnosis. The procedure is also used in therapy of some arrhythmias. Abuse relates to the danger of inducing ventricular fibrillation in patients with digitalis intoxication and to the possibility of precipitating long ventricular standstill in elderly persons.
