Pacing maneuvers for supraventricular tachycardia differential diagnosis: ventricular overdrive pacing
https://doi.org/10.35336/VA-2022-3-08
Abstract
The accurate tachycardia mechanism verification is the most important condition for high effectiveness and safety of the supraventricular tachycardia ablation. Ventricular overdrive pacing - is a simple and useful diagnostic maneuver, frequently used in the supraventricular tachycardia diagnosis. The conditions for its performance and interpretation in the standard and rare situations are described in this review.
