antitachycardia pacing

Safety and efficacy of anti-tachycardia pacing in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy implanted with an ICD

Background: In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients implanted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), clinical outcomes of antitachycardia pacing (ATP) have been poorly explored. In a retrospective analysis of a cohort of consecutive HCM patients implanted with an ICD, we aimed to assess the efficacy, safety, and clinical value of ATP. Methods: The cohort of HCM patients implanted with a transvenous ICD and followed in our center was assessed for device intervention from implantation to last clinical follow-up.
