An implanted multiprogrammable pacemaker capable of performing both premature and burst stimulation can be teamed with a special external programmer for noninvasive electrophysiological testing. Such studies, combined with indications from provocative pharmacologic tests, allowed us to formulate effective antiarrhythmic therapies for three patients suffering from post‐infarction, recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia.
