MINERVA Trial Presented at Heart Rhythm Meeting Shows Medtronic Advanced Pacing Features Reduce the Progression of Persistent AF by 58 Percent While Reducing AF-Related Hospital Visits That Lead to ...

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 human heart is a highly complex pump made of muscle, complete with its own electric power system, supplying the energy and oxygen it needs to function. The heart’s pumping action is regulated by ...

THURSDAY, May 5, 2016 -- People with heart pacemakers and sleep apnea are at much greater risk for a dangerous heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, a new study suggests. With sleep apnea, ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...

LOS ANGELES – The Registry of Atrial Tachycardia and Atrial Fibrillation Episodes in the Cardiac Rhythm Management Device Population (RATE) shows that long episodes of atrial tachycardia or atrial ...

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 ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . This ECG makes you initially think of atrial fibrillation, as the rhythm is very irregular. It is actually what ...

THIS paper is a report of the clinical application of an intracardiac pacemaker in the therapy of severe or intractable Stokes–Adams seizures associated with heart block. This is the first recorded ...
