Abstract

Anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) has gained widespread acceptance to treat ventricular tachyarrhythmias and prevent implantable defibrillator shocks. A 63-year-old lady with nonischemic cardiomyopathy underwent insertion of a primary prevention biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (BIV-ICD). Post implant she was found to have recurrent episodes of atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia (AVNRT) based on device electrograms. In this report, we describe the use of anti-tachycardia pacing to manage this tachycardia.

Keywords: Anti-tachycardia pacing; Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia; Cardiac resynchronization therapy.
