Information concerning the electrophysiological characteristics of the reentrant circuit is still limited. To understand the incidence and mechanism of pacing-induced interruption of ventricular tachycardia (VT), rapid pacing was performed to entrain VT, and the local electrogram at the VT origin and the surface electrocardiogram were analyzed.
