Pacemakers have been useful in treating Stokes-Adams syndrome and symptomatic bradyeardias; they have helped control the occurrence of tachyarrhythmias and have played an important role in the management of arrhythmias acco...
متن کاملHaemodynamic Studies in Patients with Artificial Pacemakers.
The treatment of complete heart block bymeans of an artificial pacemaker is now well established, but there is still considerable uncertainty as to the best heart rate and the relative merits of fixed or variable rate units. The present study is based on 35 patients and the results are supported by clinical experience of a further 41 who have all been treated by artificial pacing for up to four...
متن کاملMyocardial threshold in patients with artificial pacemakers.
T HIS report has a threefold purpose: (1) to describe a simple, clinical method of estimating myocardial threshold in patients with artificial pacemakers, (2) to verify the importance of critically high threshold as a significant cause of “pacemaker failure,” and (3) to suggest for this type of failure a nonsurgical method of restoring myocardial responsiveness by administration of glucocortico...
متن کاملCOMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT Radiotherapy to patients with artificial cardiac pacemakers
Background: The in vitro studies show that the modern cardiac pacemakers utilising the complementary metal-oxide semi-conductor (CMOS) circuitry can be adversely affected by therapeutic radiation. However, the published clinical data are sparse regarding the safety of radiotherapy delivery to patients with artificial pacemakers. Despite the potential risk of life threatening complications, ther...
