The cardiac pacemaker harmlessly dissolves over the course of 35 days. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) Temporary cardiac pacemakers provide essential pacing for patients with short-term heart ...

PHILADELPHIA — Accelerometer-based atrial sensing with a novel, enhanced, automated algorithm in patients with atrioventricular block and a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle ...

The diagnosis is sinus tachycardia, right ventricular pacemaker, P-wave synchronous ventricular pacing (A-sensed V-paced), pseudo second-degree AV block due to failure of atrial sensing. There is a ...

AV nodal ablation necessitates pacemaker implantation. Most patients have right ventricular apical lead placement and are left with a 100% RV-paced rhythm. RV pacing has been recently shown to have ...

SUDDEN death in persons with artificial pacemakers is a continuing and disturbing problem. Causes include pacemaker-catheter displacement, electric-component failure, broken wires and rising pacing ...

THIS paper is a report of the clinical application of an intracardiac pacemaker in the therapy of severe or intractable Stokes–Adams seizures associated with heart block. This is the first recorded ...
