Although pacing techniques for the termination of ventricular tachycardia are successful in some patients, the widespread use of these devices has not been possible until the recent availability of high energy (25 J) automatic defibrillators. The implantable defibrillator will serve both as a primary means of arrhythmia termination and as backup device to treat pacer mediated acceleration of ventricular tachycardia. The subsequent mortality of patients with ventricular tachycardia and/or fibrillation should diminish considerably.
尽管用于终止室性心动过速的起搏技术在一些患者中取得了成功，但直到最近高能（25焦耳）自动除颤器问世，这些设备才得以广泛应用。植入式除颤器将既作为心律失常终止的主要手段，又作为治疗起搏器介导的室性心动过速加速的备用设备。室性心动过速和/或颤动患者随后的死亡率应会大幅降低。
