Atrial pacing periablation for prevention of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND This study tested the hypothesis that rate-adaptive atrial pacing would prevent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in patients with frequent PAF in the absence of symptomatic bradycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients (n=97) with antiarrhythmic drug-refractory PAF received a Medtronic Thera DR pacemaker 3 months before planned AV node ablation. Patients were randomized to no pacin...
متن کاملSuppression of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation by Pacing
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) affects approximately five million people worldwide. The incidence of AF increases with aging and more common in males.1 Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiogenic cause of stroke and exacerbates heart failure. Despite the prevalence of AF, it is still one of the most difficult arrhythmia to treat.2 The management option of AF ranges from pharmacological therapy...
متن کاملBiatrial pacing for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a randomized prospective study into the suppression of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using biatrial pacing.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was twofold: to assess whether biatrial pacing is superior to single-site pacing and capable of reducing the frequency of episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF); and to compare pacing of the proximal coronary sinus (PCS) with the distal coronary sinus (DCS) and the effects of sequential or simultaneous biatrial pacing. BACKGROUND Interatrial cond...
متن کاملIs There a Role for Pacing in the Prevention of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation?
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common significant cardiac arrhythmia, affecting an estimated four million people worldwide. Its rapid and uncoordinated atrial rhythm significantly compromises hemodynamics, decreases cardiac output, predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias, and sets the stage for thromboembolic complications. Contributing mechanisms are presumed to be the occurr...
متن کاملNo incremental benefit of multisite atrial pacing compared with right atrial pacing in patients with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the incremental antifibrillatory effect of multisite atrial pacing compared with right atrial pacing in patients with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation paced for arrhythmia prevention alone. METHODS In 20 of these patients (mean (SD) age 64 (8) years; 14 female, six male), a single blinded randomised crossover study was performed to investigate the increment...
