High-rate pacing reduces variability of repolarization and prevents repolarization-dependent arrhythmias in dogs with chronic AV block.

Introduction: High-rate pacing may have an inhibitory effect on the initiation of Torsade de Pointes arrhythmias (TdP). However, permanent pacing is only indicated in high-risk patients. We performed a proof of concept study into automatic overdrive pacing for prevention of drug-induced TdP, using s...
