متن کاملProlonged temporary cardiac pacing using an external permanent pacing system.
The number of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators implanted each year continues to grow in Spain, due largely to the increased life expectancy of the population in the case of pacemakers and the indications for primary prevention in the case of implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Although the incidence of infections associated with implantable cardiac devices is not high...
متن کاملHeart rhythm during permanent cardiac pacing.
Heart rhythm was analysed with regard to spontaneous or pacemaker-induced heart activity, in a consecutive series of 282 patients paced for at least 1 year. The mean duration of pacing was 59 (13 to 180) months. The mean age of the patients was 76 (39 to 93) years. Spontaneous heart activity at all routine examinations was found in 33 (12%) of the patients. Pacemaker-induced rhythm only was rec...
