Termination of ventricular tachycardia by single extrastimulation during the ventricular effective refractory period

R Ruffy, KJ Friday and WF Southworth

Termination of ventricular tachycardia by low-energy shocks delivered during the ventricular refractory period has been reported. We describe a case of reproducible termination of multiple episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia by a low-current extrastimulus delivered during the effective refractory period of the right ventricle, from the distal bipole of a quadripolar electrode catheter.
