Abstract
Patients with congenital heart disease are vulnerable to atrial tachyarrhythmias, especially after atrial surgeries. We evaluated the efficacy of atrial arrhythmia detection and antitachycardia pacing (ATP) using the Medtronic AT500 pacemaker in 28 patients with congenital heart disease (age 30 ± 18 years). Of 15 patients with atrial arrhythmias, 14 had atrial tachycardia events that were appropriately detected. ATP was enabled for 167 treatable episodes, successfully converting 90 (54%). Rhythms classified as ventricular tachycardia were detected 127 times, yet most were actually atrial or sinus tachycardia with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction. Atrial tachycardias in congenital heart disease are amenable to ATP alogorithms in the AT500 pacemaker.
