Background: The epidemiology and clinical implications of asymptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) including both atrial fibrillation and flutter in pacemaker recipients with and without arrhythmia ...

Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

Pacemakers identify atrial fibrillation and enable initiation of anticoagulation to prevent strokes, according to new research. "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and ...

Hamilton, ON - Atrial tachyarrhythmias in the absence of clinical atrial fibrillation occur frequently among patients with pacemakers and are associated with a significant increase in the risk for ...

The Aveir DR dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system (Abbott) performs well out to 1 year in patients largely treated for sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular (AV) block, according to extended ...

A 67-year-old man with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction had recurrent ventricular fibrillation that required insertion of temporary pacemaker. When a permanent pacemaker was inserted stable ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Patients requiring a pacemaker often have atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of thromboembolism and, consequently, the risk of morbidity and mortality. To maintain sinus rhythms, ...

Researchers at the University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have discovered a backup natural pacemaker, which is able to generate a pulse and control the heart rate. The ...

Atrial fibrillation – a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia – leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated ...

NEW ORLEANS -- A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, ...
