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.

What to Know About Bradycardia

AMS Cardiology

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 ?”

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

Interpreting the waves and detecting abnormalities: Typically, the heart conducts electricity in a pathway starting in the sinoatrial node (SA), our heart’s “natural pacemaker”, located in the wall of the right atrium. Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia.

Paced QRS morphology mimicking complete left bundle branch block induced by right ventricular pacing is associated with pacing?induced cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB)-like QRS morphology of right ventricular pacing at pacemaker implantation satisfying the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation/Heart Rhythm Society criteria of CLBBB was associated with development of pacing induced cardiomyopathy.

Syncope and a short pause on event monitor

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

If the block is not vagal in nature, the patient should receive a pacemaker. There was a randomized trial to determine whether pacemakers could benefit patients with vasovagal syncope, aptly named The North American Vasovagal Pacemaker Study (VPS). In the repeat study (VPS II), EVERY patient had an implanted pacemaker.
