UC San Diego Health is the first in San Diego to successfully implant the world’s first dual chamber and leadless pacemaker system to help treat people with abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are the standard of care to regulate a patient’s irregular heartbeat.

Heart Rhythm [Internet]. Because she has cardiomyopathy and ventricular dysrhythmias, the pacer included an Implanted Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD) Echo 6 days later after CRT: Normal estimated left ventricular ejection fraction. New formula for evaluation of the QT interval in patients with left bundle branch block.

After resuscitation and defibrillation , there were no more episodes of TdP. Had there been recurrent episodes of pause-dependent TdP, temporary ventricular pacing at a higher heart rate would have been indicated to suppress the pauses and in that way decreasing the risk of further episodes of TdP. The ECG shows sinus rhythm.

The guidelines for atrial fibrillation ( AF ) from the American Heart Association ( AHA ) in 2019 and the European Society of Cardiologists ( ESC ) in 2020 recommend continued monitoring and evaluation for patients with atrial high-rate episodes (AHRE), with the ESC noting a preference for remote monitoring.5,6 Eur Heart J.

Study author Hannah Keage (University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia) said: "The implantable defibrillator (ICD) is very good at prolonging a patient's life, but we need to make sure it is a good quality of life”. An ICD is recommended for people at high risk for life-threatening heart rhythms and those in cardiac arrest.
