Abstract
- Day to day reproducibility of the response to programmed ventricular stimulation has not been evaluated in survivors of acute myocardial infarction. Programmed ventricular stimulation was performed prospectively on 2 consecutive days in 56 patients on an average of 12 ± 5 days (range 7 to 29) after an acute myocardial infarction. No patient had a history of documented or suspected sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation occurring >48 h after infarction. During initial programmed ventricular stimulation, 21 patients had induction of sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (Group I), and 35 patients had induction of either nonsustained ventricular tachycardia or no ventricular tachycardia (Group II).
