The use of an antitachycardia pacemaker in the treatment of hyperkinetic supraventricular arrhythmias is founded on a reliable electrophysiological ground and on an high technology. Nevertheless the clinical impact of this approach is not considerable since the 5% to 7% of the potential candidates are in effect treated with an antitachycardia device. The success of new therapeutical procedures (i.e. catheter ablation) together with the shifting of the clinical, technical and commercial interest towards the electrical treatment of the malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias are the main causes of the minor role that now the antitachycardia pacemakers play in the management of the patients with hyperkinetic supraventricular arrhythmias.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D000889 Anti-Arrhythmia Agents Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
