milla1cf Thu, 06/20/2024 - 19:40 June 20, 2024 — A programing algorithm, being tested by HonorHealth Research Institute for those patients with new or recently installed pacemakers, is designed so the device not only provides a steady heartbeat, but also controls high bloodpressure. It’s very promising.
The BACKBEAT pivotal study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrioventricular interval modulation (“AVIM”) therapy (also known as BackBeat CNT), for the treatment of pacemaker-indicated patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite the use of antihypertensive medications.

Crew notifies the received ED of an incoming post-arrest patient and notes a sinus bradycardia on their monitor, as seen in Figure 2. Figure 2 : This rhythm shows a sinus bradycardia at a rate between 30 and 40bpm. The crew immediately initiated TCP at a rate of 70bpm and slowly increased the current, as shown in Figure 3.
Written by Willy Frick A man in his 70s with a history of HFrEF and sick sinus syndrome s/p dual chamber pacemaker placement was admitted for overnight observation following outpatient placement of a mitral valve clip. This is unambiguous evidence of pacemaker malfunction. Imagine the pacemaker is set at a minimum rate of 60.
Resuscitation was initiated and this ECG was obtained: Likely AFib (irregularly irregular) with bradycardia. She was intubated and a transvenous pacemaker was inserted with good capture. During this time, the patients bloodpressure continued to decline, requiring 4 pressors to sustain hemodynamics.
Reflex syncope is defined as a transient loss of consciousness due to a neurally mediated reflex causing sudden-onset vasodilation and bradycardia, leading to a steep decrease in bloodpressure and cerebral hypoperfusion. Thus, once the aetiology is established, further diagnostic tests are seldom performed.
Immediately after contrast injection into the LMCA, the patient had circulatory collapse, with a precipitous drop in bloodpressure. An Impella device was placed to maintain cardiac output and perfusion pressures. There was no evidence bradycardia leading up to the runs of PMVT ( as tends to occur with Torsades ).
Three months prior to this presentation, he received a pacemaker for severe bradycardia and syncope due to sinus node dysfunction. Another bloodpressure was checked. He was severely hypotensive, with a systolic pressure in the 50s. The ED provider ordered a coronary CT scan to assess the patient for CAD.
Systemic vascular resistance falls, but slight to moderate increase in bloodpressure can occur due to the increased cardiac output. But there is significant rise in bloodpressure leading to pressure overload to the left ventricle.
PVCs N ot generally considered abnormal ECG findings: Isolated PAC, First Degree AV Block, Sinus bradycardia at a rate of 35-45, and Nonspecific ST-T abnormalities (even if different from a previous ECG). Thus, if there is documented sinus bradycardia, and no suspicion of high grade AV block, at the time of the syncope, this is very useful.
