Background: The epidemiology and clinical implications of asymptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) including both atrial fibrillation and flutter in pacemaker recipients with and without arrhythmia ...

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 ...

Results of a new study show that pacemaker patients who have sleep apnea are at increased risk of irregular heart rhythm of atrial fibrillation. The study was presented Wednesday at the 2016 Heart ...

Pacemakers identify atrial fibrillation and enable initiation of anticoagulation to prevent strokes, according to new research. "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and ...

A New Pacemaker Algorithm for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT) Electrophysiologic Characteristics of the Spontaneous Onset and ...

The Aveir DR dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system (Abbott) performs well out to 1 year in patients largely treated for sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular (AV) block, according to extended ...

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 ...

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 ...

Multifocal atrial tachycardia is a tachycardic version of wandering atrial pacemaker in which the atrial rate is greater than 100 beats per minute. Multifocal atrial tachycardia occurs when multiple ...

Researchers at the University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have discovered a backup natural pacemaker, which is able to generate a pulse and control the heart rate. The ...

Pacemakers identify atrial fibrillation and enable initiation of anticoagulation to prevent strokes, according to research presented today at Acute Cardiovascular Care 2015 by Dr. Nathan Denham, a ...
