Effect of Paced Heart Rate on Quality of Life and Natriuretic Peptides for Stage B or C HFpEF: A Secondary Analysis of the myPACE Trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of higher backup pacing rates in HFpEF patients with preexisting pacemaker systems that limit pacemaker-mediated dyssynchrony across left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF). No evidence of heterogeneity was found across LV volumes or LVEF for pacemaker-detected AF burden.

Effects of Continuous Accelerated Pacing on Cardiac Structure and Function in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Insights From the myPACE Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of the American Heart Association

Of the 100 participants, 16 myPACE and 20 usual care arm had a qualifying set of echocardiograms performed a mean (SD) 3 (2.0) Despite similar baseline echocardiogram measures, sustained exposure to moderately accelerated pacing resulted in reduced septal wall thickness (in cm: myPACE 1.1 [0.2] years apart. versus usual care 1.2 [0.2],P=0.008)

Top 10 Cardiac Diagnosis Trends in 2024

GEMMS

This transformation extends to the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms developed by startups, which analyze medical imaging data such as ECGs, echocardiograms, and cardiac MRI scans. It ultimately aims to improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals with heart-related conditions.
