A state-of-the-art review of the treatment of tachyarrhythmias. Topics include: ICD therapy; ICD leads and implant technique; the evolution of ICD therapy; ICD indications and prospective studies. The final section is a thorough description of catheter ablation including principles and techniques and ablation of Mahaim pathways, and AV nodal tachycardia. It is followed by a discussion of the ICD and ablation as competing and complementary therapies.
