Transient entrainment of tachycardia by pacing at a faster rate corresponds to its acceleration with return to sinus rhythm either when the pacing is interrupted or when the pacing rate is slowed. It conforms to strict criteria detectable either on the surface electrocardiogramme (constant fusion, progressive fusion, change of morphology before termination of a tachycardia) or on selective endocavitary recording when entrainment is hidden. The phenomenon described by Waldo in 1977 in atrial flutter is found in all reentrant tachycardias. It is currently being studied in ventricular tachycardia. The electrophysiological concept is useful because it facilitates the understanding of the mode of termination of tachycardia by stimulation and the localisation of zones for destruction during ablation.
