Prognostic benefits of His?Purkinje capture in physiological pacemakers for bradycardia

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

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. 6.60) were associated with increased hazard of HF-hospitalizations, and RVP (2.52, 95% CI: 1.19–5.35)

PO-03-032 COMPARISON OF IN-HOSPITAL MORTALITY FOR TRANSVENOUS SINGLE-CHAMBER, TRANSVENOUS DUAL-CHAMBER, AND LEADLESS PACEMAKER FOLLOWING IMPLANTATION: INSIGHTS FROM THE NATIONAL INPATIENT SAMPLE DATABASE

HeartRhythm

The implantation of leadless pacemakers has grown in recent years for the management of bradycardias. There are no randomized controlled trials to evaluate outcomes for single-chamber transvenous (TV), dual-chamber TV, and leadless pacemakers.

PO-03-044 CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF SINGLE CHAMBER RIGHT VENTRICULAR OR CONDUCTION SYSTEM PACING COMPARED TO LEADLESS PACEMAKER

HeartRhythm

Introduction: Leadless pacemakers (LP) are increasingly utilized in pts with bradycardia and may be associated with better outcomes compared to right ventricular pacing (RVP). Conduction system pacing (CSP) with HBP or LBBAP have been associated with reduction in death or heart failure hospitalization (HFH).

An unruly case of functional two-to-one atrioventricular block

HeartRhythm

A newborn male was delivered via cesarean section at term due to acute fetal distress and fetal bradycardia, necessitating emergency pacemaker implantation. During hospitalization, the infant experienced multiple seizures and episodes of hypoglycemia.

Orthostatic hypotension onset after invasive procedure?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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.

A woman in her 70s with bradycardia and hypotension

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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. In addition to marked bradycardia — could there be high-grade AV block? Atropine produced no response. She received PR aspirin.

For full discussion of the case — CLICK HERE — ECG Rhythm Overview: A 12-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with severe myocardial dysfunction and chaotic rhythm with tachy- and bradycardic arrhythmias. ECG #2: Figure-2: ECG #2 is from the 4th hospital day. In the meantime, a pacemaker may be needed. =
