Children with congenital complete atrioventricular block often require lifelong pacemaker therapy. Although such therapy restores a normal heart rate, it also results in dyssynchronous left ...

Our elderly population (over 70 years) with dual-chamber pacemakers inserted for complete AV block benefit significantly from DDD pacing compared with VVIR pacing. There were improvements in HRQoL ...

Almost one-third of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a balloon-expandable device develop new-onset left bundle branch block, although the condition resolves by ...

The first-ever pacemaker to include Managed Ventricular Pacing (MVP®), the EnRhythm™ Pacing System promotes intrinsic conduction and is clinically proven to significantly reduce unnecessary right ...

THE presence of complete heart block in the pediatric age group has been known for many years. 1 A sizable number of publications, consisting mostly of reports of a small number of cases, indicates ...

Third-degree atrioventricular nodal block, also known as third-degree heart block or complete heart block, occurs when no action potentials conduct through the AV node. This results in the P waves ...

CLEVELAND — Elderly, frail patients on topical timolol should be watched carefully for cardiac side-effects, and the medication should be discontinued if such side-effects develop, according to a ...

Patients with atrioventricular (AV) block who don’t have an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do better when treated with conduction-system pacing versus right ventricular septal ...

LONDON, UK — An early analysis of an ongoing study of the Nanostim LP leadless pacemaker (St Jude Medical) suggests that the cylindrical, self-contained battery/generator/electrode with a screw-in tip ...

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 ...
