Bradyarrhythmias are due to a variety of disorders leading to a reduction of heart rate below that which is required to meet physiologic demand. The limitation of heart rate can be related to impaired impulse formation, blocked impulses, or a combination of these. Bradycardia related to sinus node dysfunction most frequently results from a reduction in the number of pacemaker impulses, while bradycardia...
Pacing algorithms to prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) have been tested in studies of modest size and duration with inconclusive results. To prospectively evaluate the relationship between subclinical AF and stroke in patients 65 years of age or older with no previous AF receiving a first pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator for standard indications. Three months following device...
There is increasing interest in the use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to manage atrial tachyarrhythmias. Although device-based shock therapy is highly effective in terminating persistent atrial tachyarrhythmias, atrial overdrive pacing may also be useful, particularly when this therapy is applied early after the onset of an arrhythmia. A dual-chamber ICD (Medtronic 7250 Jewel...
