Case Report: Dual-chamber pacemaker for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with bradyarrhythmia and idiopathic pericardial effusion: a report of two cases and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

To manage the complex comorbidities, we opted for dual-chamber pacemaker implantation. Subsequent examinations and follow-up revealed that pacing significantly reduced LVOT obstruction and corrected heart rhythm. Meanwhile, a dual-chamber pacemaker can treat HCM by changing the sequence of myocardial contraction.

UC San Diego Health First in Region to Implant Dual Chamber, Leadless Pacemaker

DAIC

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.

will have AF, an irregular and potentially dangerous heart rhythm. AFHCUs included clinical actions such as ablation, cardioversion, initiation/intensification of rate or rhythm control medication, or progression to a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation in elderly patients undergoing high risk cardiac surgery

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Cox-Maze IV AF ablation. Heart rhythm was assessed from Holter reports or 12-lead ECG. No differences observed in freedom from stroke (p = 0.80) or permanent pacemaker (p = 0.33) between the groups. Therefore, surgical risk should not be reason to deny benefits of concomitant AF-ablation.
