A new pacemaker algorithm for the treatment of atrial fibrillation: results of the Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT).
OBJECTIVES The Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT) was a single blind, randomized, controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the atrial fibrillation (AF) Suppression Algorithm (St. Jude Medical Cardiac Rhythm Management Division, Sylmar, California) in patients with sick sinus syndrome and AF. BACKGROUND This algorithm increases the pacing rate when the native rhythm e...
متن کاملPacemaker periodicity in atrial fibrillation.
• Atrial fibrillation is a common and usually chronic atrial arrhythmia. Most descriptive accounts emphasize its irregularity but its mechanism is poorly understood, as shown, for example, by the number of theories that have been advanced to explain its genesis and perpetuation. Atrial electrical recordings, high speed atrial cinematography, and various techniques for the experimental productio...
متن کاملPacemaker Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation
There are a number of applications for pacemaker therapy in the management of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). The most frequent indication for pacing in AF is to prevent bradycardia in patients with rapid ventricular response and sinus node dysfunction. For elderly patients or patients with significant medical comorbidities who have highly symptomatic, drug-refractory AF, pacemaker implantation and a...
متن کاملIntravenous Methylprednisolone, a Possible Cause of the Atrial Fibrillation
We are presenting a case illustrating atrial fibrillation (AF) following the use of methylprednisolone in a patient with pelvic and femur fracture. A 48- year- old man with no significant past medical history, was admitted to the emergency department after injury in a car accident. He suffered a multiple bone fracture with chief complaints of pain and shortness of breath. He was transfer...
متن کاملA new LMS algorithm for analysis of atrial fibrillation signals
BACKGROUND A biomedical signal can be defined by its extrinsic features (x-axis and y-axis shift and scale) and intrinsic features (shape after normalization of extrinsic features). In this study, an LMS algorithm utilizing the method of differential steepest descent is developed, and is tested by normalization of extrinsic features in complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAE). METHOD E...
