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 ...

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands—In patients with sinus node dysfunction treated with dual-chamber pacemakers, minimizing atrial pacing doesn’t lower the likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) ...

Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

Minimizing atrial pacing does not alter the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with sinus node dysfunction (SND), suggest results of a trial that randomly assigned patients with SND who had ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Patients requiring a pacemaker often have atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of thromboembolism and, consequently, the risk of morbidity and mortality. To maintain sinus rhythms, ...

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 ...

People with the heart-rhythm disorder known as atrial fibrillation, or a-fib, may ease their symptoms with the help of a slower-paced yoga, a preliminary study finds. Researchers from India found that ...
