ABSTRACT:
A system and method for use in an implantable cardiac stimulation device permits automatic induction of a tachyarrhythmia of a heart to permit the performance of an electrophysiological test of the heart. A pulse generator repeatedly delivers a group of first and second sets of pacing pulses to a chamber of the heart. The pacing pulses are separated in time by interpulse intervals to overdrive pace a chamber of the heart. A processor, coupled to the pulse generator, varies the second set of interpulse intervals according to a predetermined protocol after each group of pacing pulses is delivered to the chamber of the heart. The successive groups of pacing pulses are delivered to the heart until the tachyarrhythmia is induced.
