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 ...

Denver, CO - The risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with dual-chamber pacing in patients with sinus-node disease (SND) can be cut dramatically by the use of devices with special programming ...

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2006;29(3):298-315. The DAVID trial provided important evidence about the harmful effect that right ventricular pacing might be conferring to patients with implantable ...

There are several cardiac pacing options available to patients with sinus-node disease (SND), but each is associated with clinical disadvantages and the optimum strategy has not been identified. The ...

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 ...

Outcomes against which the relative effectiveness of dual‑chamber and single‑chamber pacing were assessed included the incidence of pacemaker syndrome, exercise capacity, functional status, quality of ...

With numerical simulations, researchers have demonstrated a new way to time weak electrical pulses that can stop certain life-threatening arrhythmias. The group shows that timed pulses are successful ...

The role of atrial overdrive pacing (AOP) in sleep apnea remains uncertain. We prospectively evaluated the effect of AOP after 24 hours and after one month in patients with the obstructive sleep apnea ...
