In patients with atrial fibrillation right ventricular pacing can block antegrade conduction at pacing intervals longer than the shortest spontaneous R-R interval, causing the stabilization of ventricular rhythm. In this study the effects of pacing at two sites were compared in order to evaluate the role of conduction times in determining the stabilization of ventricular rhythm.
