Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). As technology advances, so too does our ability to capture the heart’s rhythm with greater precision. Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia.

Evaluation of atrial fibrillation using wearable device signals and home blood pressure data in the Michigan Predictive Activity & Clinical Trajectories in Health (MIPACT) Study: A Subgroup Analysis (MIPACT-AFib)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background The rising adoption of wearable technology increases the potential to identify arrhythmias. Of 59 participants who sent at least 1 EKG, 52 (88.1%) were in sinus rhythm, 3 (5.1%) AF, 2 (3.4%) indeterminate, and 2 (3.4%) sinus bradycardia. Cardiac monitor demonstrated AF in 2 of 3 participants with AF on Apple Watch EKGs.

What is the mechanism of LBBB in DCM ? How does left bundle branch pacing correct it ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Which is more often not the case) Unfortunately, while technology allow us to replace a defective valve or even transplant a entire heart. It is true pacing near the bundle branches have better chance of synchronous contraction provided distal circuitry is perfect. There is less compelling academic reasons for this change, than we think.
