The treatment of drug-refractory chronic ventricular tachycardia (VT) has undergone a revolution over the last 50 years. We now have automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy with pace-terminating capabilities, and catheter ablation of VT has refined mapping and improved methods of lesion generation. Between 1980 and 1993, Houston Methodist Hospital became a leader in the diagnosis and surgical ablation of VT and other arrhythmias. This is a brief account of that period and some of the experiences and lessons that have led to significant advances used today.

The automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (AICD) is becoming the treatment of choice for patients with ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. The widespread use of the AICD is requiring nurses in a variety of settings to become familiar with the device and device-patient interactions. This article attempts to define specific issues and nursing interventions relative to the AICD
