A new method for pacemaker treatment of refractory reentry tachycardias has been developed which in 5 patients proved effective over a period of up to ten months. The system consists of a modified QRS-synchronous pacemaker and an external trigger unit. During tachycardia the external unit senses pacemaker spikes and by timed skin stimulation activates the implanted pacemaker to provoke the ventricular premature beats necessary for interruption of the tachycardia. The system also allows repetitive non-invasive programmed stimulation of the heart.
一种用于起搏器治疗难治性折返性心动过速的新方法已被开发出来，在5名患者中，该方法在长达十个月的时间里被证明是有效的。该系统由一个改良的QRS同步起搏器和一个外部触发单元组成。在心动过速期间，外部单元感知起搏器脉冲，并通过定时的皮肤刺激激活植入的起搏器，以诱发中断心动过速所需的室性早搏。该系统还允许对心脏进行重复性的非侵入性程控刺激。
