This can include our hearts, which may develop conditions like bradycardia or a slow heart rate. While a slow heart rhythm might not sound concerning, it can sometimes lead to alarming symptoms and even pose severe health risks. What Is Bradycardia ? Are you wondering “ What is bradycardia ?”

Traditional transvenous pacemakers consist of a pacemaker generator usually positioned surgically in the upper left chest on the pectoral muscle fascia and one or more leads positioned through the veins to the right atrium and across the tricuspid valve to the right ventricular apex.

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.

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.

The following are key points to remember from a review article on cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), which include pacemakers for bradycardia, biventricular pacemakers for heart failure, and implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) for the treatment of sudden cardiac death:

I will leave more detailed rhythm discussion to the illustrious Dr. Ken Grauer below, but this use of calipers shows that the rhythm interpretation is: Sinus bradycardia with a competing (most likely junctional) rhythm. Neverthelss, his anterior wall was saved and he had normal ejection fraction without heart failure.

The patient care narrative states no further changes in heart rate with persistent LBBB morphology. He received a permanent pacemaker during the subsequent inpatient stay. LBBB may be the precipitating cause of the heart failure syndrome, or may portend high mortality when identified in preexisting heart failure.
