- Abstract
The article presents the case of a 56-year-old man with a history of congestive heart failure and a biventricular ICD was referred for assessment of frequent episodes of antitachycardia pacing and occasional shocks for tachycardia. An EP study was performed for further assessment. During catheter manipulation in the right ventricle, tachycardia was observed. Administration of 6mg of intravenous adenosine consistently resulted in termination of the tachycardia. Attempts to entrain the tachycardia by right atrial pacing were unsuccessful.
