Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Introduction Patients with congenital heart disease are at increased risk for requiring cardiac pacing during their lifetime. Due to atrial and ventricular pacing dependence, a comprehensive congenital care team concluded the need for lead extraction and replacement of pacemaker via leadless peacemaking device.

Torsade in a patient with left bundle branch block: is there a long QT? (And: Left Bundle Pacing).

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Place temporary pacemaker 3. It should be kept in mind that on occasions, beta-one agonist can result in increased ventricular ectopy e.g., in severe myocardial ischemia (by increasing myocardial demand), or sometimes with congenital long-QT syndrome. See this post: How a pause can cause cardiac arrest 2. J Am Coll Cardiol.

Abstract 4118882: Decompensated Heart Failure Secondary to a Non-Coronary Sinus of Valsalva to Right Atrium Fistula: A Case Report

Circulation

of all congenital cardiac anomalies. Her ejection fraction was 66% ejection fraction with a fistula between the right sinus of Valsalva and the right atrium on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) which was also seen on transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). Introduction:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) accounts for 3.5%

Why is ECG machine use? What diseases can EKG monitor detect?

Wellnest

However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a common congenital heart defect in which there is a problem with the heart's blood supply, and the left side of the heart does not develop correctly. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.

What do heart tests tell us?

Dr. Sanjay Gupta

The heart is a pump and that pump may be faulty either due to congenital problem or an acquired problem. Some patients with pacemakers and metal prosthesis can’t be exposed to such strong magnetic fields. Overall though a normal cardiac MRI is even more reassuring than a normal echocardiogram.
