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

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Clinical outcomes of long-term ventricular septal pacing (VSP) without His-Purkinje capture remain unknown. This study evaluated the differences in clinical outcomes between conduction system pacing (CSP), VSP, and right ventricular pacing (RVP).

Physiology Friday #228: Identifying Sleep Patterns that Influence Chronic Disease Risk

Physiologically Speaking

Welcome to the Physiology Friday newsletter. Physiologically Speaking is a reader-supported publication. This irregular sleep pattern misaligns circadian rhythms and disrupts physiology. ICYMI: On Wednesday, I published my video interview with Dr. Andrew Koutnik. “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.”

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

By understanding the nuances of abnormalities detected in Cardiomatics and interpreting detailed reports, healthcare professionals can intervene promptly to prevent adverse outcomes. Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia. The left bundle and right bundle terminate in the Purkinje fibers.

Comparison of clinical outcomes between transthoracic echocardiography? and X?ray?guided left bundle branch pacing for bradycardia: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is a physiological pacing modality. This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes between transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)- and X-ray-guided LBBP. However, the long procedure and fluoroscopy time of LBBP is still a problem.

QT Correction Formulas Compared to The Rule of Thumb ("Half the RR")

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

However, none of the formulas have proven to be definitively better than another and none are well correlated with outcomes or events! The rule of thumb is less accurate, and the risk is higher because a long QT in the presence of bradycardia ("pause dependent" Torsades) predisposes to Torsades. Measure it manually.

EMS 12-Lead

Another factor to be considered, according to Chou’s textbook, is that many patients have dual AVN physiology and conduction is preferential down the fast pathway. Could there have been a different outcome if the crews immediately recognized OMI – versus a shortened PR-interval – and commenced with pre-hospital Cath Lab activation?
