Coupled pacing reverses the effects of persistent atrial fibrillation on the left ventricle
Abstract PURPOSE: Recent studies have demonstrated that ventricular rate control is a viable treatment strategy for patients in atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the benefits of coupled pacing (ie, a proposed rate control therapy) could be used during persistent AF. DESCRIPTION: Six mongrel dogs were chronically implanted with endocardial atrial and ventricular pacemaker leads and two standard dual-chamber pacemakers. With the use of two custom 'Y'-lead adapters, the pacemakers were used to induce AF and to apply coupled pacing. Left ventri
