Implantable pacemakers can terminate atrial flutter using underdrive pacing. This simple method, performed in an outpatient setting, offers a new intervention for pacemaker recipients with Sick Sinus syndrome.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Implantable pacemakers are increasingly sophisticated, enabling interventions beyond simple pacing.
  • Treating tachyarrhythmias often involves specialized equipment for electrical stimulation.

Observation:

  • Two patients with Sick Sinus syndrome and DDD pacemakers developed sustained atrial flutter.
  • Neither antitachycardia devices nor specialized programmers were used for intervention.

Findings:

  • Underdrive atrial pacing was achieved by programming pacemakers to the highest rate (119 and 130 ppm) in AOO mode.
  • This pacing strategy successfully converted atrial flutter to sinus rhythm in both patients.
  • The procedure was safely performed in an outpatient clinic setting.

Implications:

  • Permanent pacemakers can be utilized for noninvasive treatment of atrial flutter.
  • Underdrive atrial pacing is a potential therapeutic option for AAI or DDD pacemaker recipients experiencing atrial flutter.
