SUDDEN death in persons with artificial pacemakers is a continuing and disturbing problem. Causes include pacemaker-catheter displacement, electric-component failure, broken wires and rising pacing ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 78 beats/min. Before each QRS complex, there are two pacing stimuli (+,v) with a very short interval (0.06 sec) between them. They are both ventricular pacing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sinus node disease (SND), a common indication to implant a pacemaker, is associated with atrial tachyarrhythmias, specifically atrial fibrillation (AF), present either at implantation or detected ...

AMSTERDAM -- A cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) upgrade produced solid clinical benefit for patients with pacing-induced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the small BUDAPEST ...

The cardiac pacemaker harmlessly dissolves over the course of 35 days. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) Temporary cardiac pacemakers provide essential pacing for patients with short-term heart ...

ICDs detect tachycardias imperfectly: An ICD-detected tachycardia may represent either a tachyarrhythmia (SVT or VT) or oversensing of nonarrhythmic electrical signals. ICDs also classify tachycardias ...

NICE recommends leadless cardiac pacemakers as the standard of care for people with slow heart rhythms.NICE has issued final ...
