The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been proven to reduce the mortality of patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, and has become the therapy of choice for patients with aborted sudden cardiac death or poorly tolerated ventricular tachycardias. Abrupt changes in ventricular cycle lengths or short-long-short (S-L-S) sequences might precede the initiation of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. The S-L-S sequences might be passively permitted or actively facilitated by pacing. We present a case of ICD-facilitated ventricular tachycardia.
植入式心脏复律除颤器 (ICD) 已被证明可降低有生命危险室性心律失常患者的死亡率，并且已成为有心脏性猝死或不耐受室性心动过速的患者的治疗选择。室性周期长度的突然变化或短-长-短 (S-L-S) 序列可能先于室性心动过速和心室颤动的发生。S-L-S 序列可能被动地由起搏允许或主动地由起搏促进。我们报告了一例 ICD 促进的室性心动过速。
