Prognostic benefits of His?Purkinje capture in physiological pacemakers for bradycardia

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods Consecutive patients with bradycardia indicated for pacing from 2016 to 2022 were prospectively followed for the clinical endpoints of heart failure (HF)-hospitalizations and all-cause mortality at 2 years. CSP should be preferred over VSP or RVP during pacing for bradycardia.

Comparison of clinical outcomes between transthoracic echocardiography? and X?ray?guided left bundle branch pacing for bradycardia: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Consecutive patients who underwent LBBP in our team from June 2022 to November 2022 were enrolled. Procedure and fluoroscopy time, pacing parameters, electrophysiological and echocardiographic characteristics, as well as complications were recorded at implantation and during follow-up. min, p  = .002).

Patient in Single Vehicle Crash: What is this ST Elevation, with Peak Troponin of 6500 ng/L?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

2 weeks Here is the final electrophysiology note: It is unclear what precipitated his motor vehicle collision. I've copied KEY points from My Comment in the August 6, 2022 post in Dr. Smith's ECG Blog — regarding the answer to this question. What are the ECG Findings of Cardiac Contusion?

Inferior ST elevation with reciprocal change: which of these 4 patients has Occlusion MI?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Patient 2 : 55 year old with 5 hours of chest pain radiating to the shoulder, with nausea and shortness of breath ECG: sinus bradycardia, normal conduction, normal axis, normal R wave progression, no hypertrophy. Smith : The fact that the ECG did not evolve is further proof that this was the baseline ECG. nearly identical to the first case).

Rates of and Indications for Subcutaneous ICD Extraction: A Multihospital Healthcare System Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent S-ICD implantation between 2010 and 2022 at a single multihospital healthcare system was performed. years was 5.9%, with the most common indications for extraction being the need for bradycardia pacing, infection, and inappropriate shocks due to oversensing.

Syncope and a short pause on event monitor

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

He was discharged with an event monitor and electrophysiology follow up. Perhaps because the bradycardia in vasovagal syncope is only one part of the autonomic response. Phase 4 block is also referred to as "bradycardia dependent block." He subsequently woke up on the ground, unsure how long he had been unconscious.
