ABSTRACT:
A novel backup approach for tachycardia patients is taught. This approach uses the application of electrical cardiac output forcing to maintain a partial cardiac contraction in the event that antitachycardia therapy accelerates the patients' rhythm into a fibrillation. The partial contraction forces cardiac output at a level sufficient to maintain life.
