In heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) requiring a pacemaker, biventricular cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is preferred to right ventricular (RV) pacing. We aim to report the prevalence and characteristics of CRT upgrades in a UK district general hospital over a 10-year period.

Complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB)-like QRS morphology of right ventricular pacing at pacemaker implantation satisfying the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation/Heart Rhythm Society criteria of CLBBB was associated with development of pacing induced cardiomyopathy.

A temporary pacemaker was implanted, and she was admitted to the ICU with cardiogenic shock. 2009;Available from: [link] 4. She was worked as a full code, and ROSC was achieved. She was taken to the cath lab, where she was found to have 100% in-stent restenosis of the proximal LAD. She could not be resuscitated. Heart [Internet].

Again, see Ken's discussion below) Discussion continued The absence of pace spikes suggests this is not a pacemaker/ICD-related rhythm in this patient with an ICD. Are the apparent P-waves (which now we suspect might not be P-waves) actually part of the QRS, in which case the QRS is even wider than it appears? Where does the QRS begin?

If the block is not vagal in nature, the patient should receive a pacemaker. There was a randomized trial to determine whether pacemakers could benefit patients with vasovagal syncope, aptly named The North American Vasovagal Pacemaker Study (VPS). In the repeat study (VPS II), EVERY patient had an implanted pacemaker.
