Antitachycardia/Bradycardia pacing

English to Arabic Medical Medical: Cardiology ICDs
I know that bradycardia is بطء القلب and that Tachycardia is تسرع القلب but I would appreciate the inclusion of the prefix anti- there and the "pacing"? تنظيم?
Thanks

antitachycardia p. an implanted pacemaker that terminates tachycardia by delivering one or more pacing stimuli; it may require arrhythmia detection and device activation by the patient or may detect arrhythmias and deliver stimuli automatically:

ICDs constantly monitor the rate and rhythm of the heart and can deliver therapies when the heart rate goes over a set number. All ICDs are programmed to deliver an electrical shock when the ventricles of the heart go faster than the set rate. More modern devices can distinguish between ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (VT), and may try to pace the heart faster than its intrinsic rate in the case of VT, to try to break the tachycardia before it progresses to ventricular fibrillation. This is known as fast-pacing, overdrive pacing, or anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP). ATP is only effective if the underlying rhythm is ventricular tachycardia, and is never effective if the rhythm is ventricular fibrillation:

According to the google search, the word Tachycardia and pacing are not found together, it's Antitachycardia pacing, ATP.
