[Stimulation of the heart in tachycardia]

The results of decelerating stimulation of the heart in 52 patients with tachysystolic complications of various etiology were studied. Paired and combined stimulation of the ventricles induced artificial rhythm in 41 patients (78.9%), in 5 patients (9.6%) the paroxysmus of tachycardia were arrested when the electrode was being inserted into the right ventricle. Favourable results were produced in 29 patients (70.7%).
