We read with interest the recent article by Grubb and Mancini,^ "A technique for intraoperative arrhythmia induction during automatic implantable defibrillator placement." We too have used this technique for intraoperative arrhythmia induction during Ventak 1550 and 1600 automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (Cardiac Pacemakers. Inc., St. Paul, MN. USA) insertion. Tbe technique allows for induction of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation without an intravascular catheter or open-chest procedure. It has proven quite reliable.
