Ventricular Apical Pacing for Ventricular Tachycardia Storm in a Patient With Midventricular Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
In some patients with MVO, apical pacing from an ICD may be antiarrhythmic for ventricular arrhythmias as well as beneficial for hemodynamics. Given that a substantial proportion of patients with MVO already meet primary or secondary criteria for transvenous ICD implantation, a switch from backup to active pacing mode can be a simple therapeutic option in many patients.
