dc.description.abstract | Programmed stimulation at 2 right ventricular sites with 1 to 3 extrastimuli was performed at current strengths of twice diastolic threshold (1.0 +/- 0.2 mA, mean +/- standard deviation) and 10 mA in 41 patients undergoing an electrophysiologic study because of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) (11 patients), nonsustained VT (19 patients) or unexplained syncope (11 patients). In 26 patients, VT was not induced by programmed stimulation at twice diastolic threshold. Programmed stimulation at 10 mA induced VT or ventricular fibrillation in 16 of these 26 patients (62%). In 4 of 16 patients, the coupling intervals of the extrastimuli that induced VT/ventricular fibrillation at 10 mA were all equal to or longer than the shortest coupling intervals resulting in ventricular capture at twice diastolic threshold. Fifteen patients had inducible VT at twice diastolic threshold. Programmed stimulation at 10 mA induced a similar VT in 12 of these patients, but resulted in no VT induction in 3 of 15 patients (20%), despite ventricular capture at the same coupling intervals that had induced VT at twice diastolic threshold.This study shows that programmed stimulation at a high current strength may either facilitate or prevent induction of VT. Facilitation of VT induction usually is attributable to a shortening of ventricular refractoriness and the ability of extrastimuli at 10 mA to capture the ventricle at shorter coupling intervals than possible at twice diastolic threshold. However, in 25% of cases, the facilitation of VT induction by 10-mA stimuli is not explained by a shortening of ventricular refractoriness. In these cases, and in the patients in whom 10-mA stimuli prevent the induction of VT that was inducible at twice diastolic threshold, the effects of high current strength appear to be mediated through some other mechanism. Other possible mechanisms include an effect on temporal dispersion of refractoriness or on the pattern or extent of ventricular activation. | en_US |
