Clinical predictors of antitachycardia pacing response in implantable cardioverter defibrillator patients

ConclusionsNeither QRS morphology nor duration were predictive of ATP success. Slower VT rate was predictive of repeated ATP responsiveness. Amiodarone therapy, which is known to increase VT cycle length, interestingly was associated with ATP failure for unclear reasons. More individualized and possibly more aggressive ATP programming may be warranted in patients on amiodarone.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
