Hamilton, ON - Atrial tachyarrhythmias in the absence of clinical atrial fibrillation occur frequently among patients with pacemakers and are associated with a significant increase in the risk for ...

When your electrical system is working normally, the two upper chambers of the heart (atria) contract and pump blood into the two lower chambers (ventricles) in a well-coordinated way. This results in ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . New-onset atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are as common in hospitalized patients with influenza as with ...

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) ...

Irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, affect millions of Americans and can increase the risk of serious complications if left untreated. Understanding the warning ...

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 ...

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 ...
