To manage the complex comorbidities, we opted for dual-chamber pacemaker implantation. Meanwhile, a dual-chamber pacemaker can treat HCM by changing the sequence of myocardial contraction. Subsequent examinations and follow-up revealed that pacing significantly reduced LVOT obstruction and corrected heart rhythm.

Pacemaker mediated tachycardia! Pacemaker mediated tachycardia , also called "Endless Loop Tachycardia," cannot happen during atrial fibrillation, so the A fib must have converted. Another ECG was recorded 12 minutes later: Paced rhythm, probable Pacemaker-Mediated Tachycardia ? The patient was admitted without angiogram."
milla1cf Thu, 06/20/2024 - 19:40 June 20, 2024 — A programing algorithm, being tested by HonorHealth Research Institute for those patients with new or recently installed pacemakers, is designed so the device not only provides a steady heartbeat, but also controls high blood pressure.
A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance over three months, bolstering evidence for this new pacemaker option, according to results from a multi-center, international clinical trial co-led by a Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigator.
Research Highlights: Pacemakers reconditioned with an FDA-approved protocol worked as well as new devices in a study of nearly 300 people in seven low- and middle-income countries. The study compared the function and safety of reconditioned pacemakers.
The BACKBEAT pivotal study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrioventricular interval modulation (“AVIM”) therapy (also known as BackBeat CNT), for the treatment of pacemaker-indicated patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite the use of antihypertensive medications. Orchestra BioMed and Medtronic, Inc. vs. 14.3%).
(MedPage Today) -- The FDA is alerting clinicians to a recall of Boston Scientific's Accolade pacemakers, which have an increased risk of permanently entering "safety mode," possibly requiring early device replacement. The agency also cleared.
Specifically designed to prevent post-operative complications for devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators, EluPro incorporates powerful antibiotic therapy combined with advanced tissue engineering to create a BioEnvelope that over time regenerates into a protective pocket of the patient's own tissue.
A pacemaker modified for newborns' tiny bodies safely and effectively stabilized their heart rhythms for up to two years, according to new research published in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.
A 96-year-old woman presented with a 1-day history of pleuritic chest pain 4 days after a pacemaker was implanted for complete heart block. Electrocardiography showed complete heart block.
Men who perform well in the cross-country ski race Vasaloppet are at increased risk of having abnormally low heart rates and pacemakers later in life. However, the researchers behind the study did not uncover any link to increased mortality, rather the opposite—the skiers lived longer than the general population.
What are the rates of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation, the predictors of needing a PPM, and long-term clinical outcomes of the third-generation balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 (S3) transcatheter heart valve (THV)?
Recycled pacemakers can function as well as new devices, according to a new study. These used and reconditioned devices have the potential to increase access to pacemaker therapy in low- and middle-income countries, where many patients cannot afford the treatment.
What are the national trends in utilization of leadless pacemaker implantation following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and its performance compared with transvenous pacemakers?
By harnessing light, my colleagues and I designed a wireless, ultrathin pacemaker that operates like a solar panel. This design not only eliminates the need for batteries but also minimizes disruptions to the heart's natural function by molding to its contours.
Does prolonged, high-intensity endurance training increase the risk of bradycardia requiring pacemaker implantation and ultimately the long-term mortality risk?
Written by Pendell Meyers A man in his 70s presented with history of pacemaker presented with shortness of breath with exertion and presyncope. The ECG shows pacemaker failure with inability to capture or sense, with either underlying atrial fibrillation or junctional escape rhythm. large boxes ).
Based on the historical studies of leadless pacemakers (LP), high atrio-ventricular synchrony (AVS) with mechanical sensing-based VDD pacing is largely influenced by A4-amplitude. A limited study investigated the predictors of A4-amplitude using clinical and echocardiographic parameters.
Lead of a pacemaker is often called as its Achilles Heel as most of the problems in a pacing system occur with the leads. Hence the quest for leadless pacemakers which are implanted within the heart through a delivery system. Single chamber leadless pacemakers have been around for quite some time. It was also delivered in 18.7%
BackgroundThere have been few instances of symptomatic bradycardia-arrhythmia in the context of area postrema syndrome (APS), and some of them have been implanted permanent pacemakers. Brady-arrhythmia was presented in all patients, and 9 patients were implanted temporary or permanent pacemakers.
What is the association between antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) use and the risk of pacemaker implantation or syncope in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving early rhythm control therapy with AADs?
Background and aims Analysis of mortality from the national health registries and data from a specific central registry dealing with the implantation of pacemakers (REPACE) in Czech patients. Almost 114,000 pacemakers were implanted between 2010 and 2021, of which 27.9% years old] between 2010 and 2021. were single-chamber, 67.4%

Despite decreasing rates of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) after TAVR, substantial site-level variation persists, suggesting the need for quality improvement initiatives like replicating best practices from high-performing sites and increased guideline-based education, according to a recent study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions. (..)
Traditional transvenous pacemakers consist of a pacemaker generator usually positioned surgically in the upper left chest on the pectoral muscle fascia and one or more leads positioned through the veins to the right atrium and across the tricuspid valve to the right ventricular apex.
The FDA has issued a safety alert for some Boston Scientific Accolade pacemakers after reports of a battery-related manufacturing issue causing the devices to initiate safety mode. The devices have limited functionality when in safety mode and may be unable to provide optimal cardiac support.
Pacemakers are cardiac implantable electronic devices. As they use radiofrequency signals for programming, other radiofrequency signals can interfere with the function of pacemakers. Notable one is magnetic resonance imaging if you consider in hospital scenarios.
Abstract Introduction Pacemaker implantation can be challenging in patients with congenital heart disease. Methods and Results In a patient with Ebstein disease and symptomatic sinus node dysfunction, despite multiple attempts, the Micra® pacemaker could not be implanted in the severely dilated right ventricle.
Here is a Pacemaker-ECG with no signs of PM-malfunction: Beat A is an intrinsic beat (atrial fibrillation). Beat B is a pseudofusion beat. Beat C is a fully paced beat. Beat D is a fusion beat. Ventricular fusion is the electrical summation of an intrinsic beat of the heart and depolarization from a pacing stimulus.
The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is significantly higher in patients with pacemakers than in the general population, which could be due to patient characteristics and the diagnostic tool of the pacemaker in detecting atrial high-rate episodes and subclinical AF, but also to the pacemaker itself providing AF-promoting conditions.
The patient underwent a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation for complete AV block. Coronary angiography showed mild, non-obstructive atherosclerosis in the dominant left circumflex artery (LCx), which continued along the anatomical course of the RCA.
People having surgery to repair tight or leaking heart valves may receive a pacemaker more often than necessary—leading to a greater risk for life-threatening complications, studies show.
