Answer to Question 1

During overdrive pacing, the pacemaker is set to pace at a rate faster than the rate of the tachycardia. After a few seconds, the pacemaker is stopped to allow the return of the heart's intrinsic pacemaker.

Answer to Question 2

D
When evaluating the ECG for the presence of chamber enlargement, it is particularly important to check the calibration marker to ensure that it is 10-mm tall.
