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. Holding the device and pictured above is Ulrika Birgersdotter-Green, MD, cardiologist and director of pacemaker and ICD services at UC San Diego Health.

Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device. Laser-lead extraction and temporary atrial pacemaker placement was performed.

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged as the most effective therapy. However, rare anatomical abnormalities such as situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, or interrupted inferior vena cava can make ablation challenging.

Abstract Background Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a novel therapeutic approach for functional bradyarrhythmias, specifically neurocardiogenic syncope or atrial fibrillation, achieved through endocardial radiofrequency catheter ablation of vagal innervation, obviating the need for pacemaker implantation.

The consensus statement suggests moving to a two-year requirement (previously annual) for in-clinic interrogations for pacemaker and ICD patients without any events or comorbidities who are compliant with remote monitoring.

She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. Seeing as the patient has a single chamber ICD/pacemaker, pacing the ventricle will also lead to AV dyssynchrony that will compromise ventricular filling, further impairing hemodynamics. small squares in width (260ms).

Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a catheter-based intervention, used to identify and ablate the epicardial ganglionated plexi (GP), which results in disruption of the vagal-mediated parasympathetic input to the sinus and atrioventricular node. Post-CNA, the median longest pause was 1.3 s s (range 0.8–2.2) with 0 documented pauses.
