August 26, 2003 — The addition of a rate-adaptive atrial pacing algorithm to dual-chambered rate responsive (DDDR) pacemakers is safe and effective in reducing symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) ...

AMSTERDAM -- Reducing atrial pacing didn't help prevent atrial fibrillation (Afib, or AF) in patients with sinus node dysfunction but did increase risk of fainting, the DANPACE II trial showed. The ...

A 67-year-old man with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction had recurrent ventricular fibrillation that required insertion of temporary pacemaker. When a permanent pacemaker was inserted stable ...

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2008;31(2):229-231. A 52-year-old man was admitted in our institution with cranial traumatism due to a syn-copal episode that occurred while he was walking. Several weeks ...

Background A routine sports evaluation identified constant alternation between a junctional and idioventricular rhythm in a 9-year-old child. During exercise testing, electrography demonstrated that ...

Minimizing atrial pacing does not prevent atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus node dysfunction, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

PHILADELPHIA — Accelerometer-based atrial sensing with a novel, enhanced, automated algorithm in patients with atrioventricular block and a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle ...

The Aveir DR dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system (Abbott) performs well out to 1 year in patients largely treated for sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular (AV) block, according to extended ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—Rate-adaptive atrial pacing to increase heart rate during exercise is not a useful strategy in patients who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronotropic ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Right ventricular pacing restores an adequate heart rate in patients with atrioventricular block, but high percentages of right ventricular apical pacing may promote left ventricular systolic ...
