Dual chamber pacing mode in an atrial antitachycardia pacing device without a ventricular lead - A necessary evil.
We present a case of a single chamber atrial pacemaker implanted for sinus node dysfunction and treatment of macroreentrant atrial tachycardias with atrial antitachycardia pacing. The patient presented with sustained atrial tachycardia above the detection rate, however, the device was unable to detect the tachycardia and did not deliver the programmed therapy. We discuss the nuances of the atri...
متن کاملA comparison of single-lead atrial pacing with dual-chamber pacing in sick sinus syndrome.
AIMS In patients with sick sinus syndrome, bradycardia can be treated with a single-lead pacemaker or a dual-chamber pacemaker. Previous trials have revealed that pacing modes preserving atrio-ventricular synchrony are superior to single-lead ventricular pacing, but it remains unclear if there is any difference between single-lead atrial pacing (AAIR) and dual-chamber pacing (DDDR). METHODS A...
متن کاملA combined atrial/ventricular lead for permanent dual-chamber cardiac pacing applications.
A new urethane insulated dual unipolar atrial/ventricular transvenous lead has been developed to facilitate implantation of permanent dual-chamber cardiac pacing systems in man. The atrial portion of the lead has tines and is designed to retain a permanent J configuration, while the coaxially situated ventricular lead is freely and independently adjustable and incorporates a ring tip electrode ...
متن کاملHeart failure in patients with sick sinus syndrome treated with single lead atrial or dual-chamber pacing: no association with pacing mode or right ventricular pacing site.
AIMS Previous studies indicate that ventricular pacing may precipitate heart failure (HF). We investigated occurrence of HF during long-term follow-up among patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS) randomized to AAIR or DDDR pacing. Furthermore, we investigated effects of percentage of ventricular pacing (%VP) and pacing site in the ventricle. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed data from 1415 pat...
متن کاملDual-Chamber Pacing Is Superior to Ventricular Pacing
In the August 1, 1996, issue of Circulation, Connolly et al presented their evaluation of current data concerning the use of DDD versus VVI pacing in patients with preserved sinus rhythm. They described a dilemma of DDD/VVI pacing in the following terms: “There are reasons to believe that dual-chamber pacing improves patient tolerance of pacing and reduces morbidity and mortality . . . However,...
