Syncope during standby cardiac pacing.
نویسنده
چکیده
An electric pacemaker may, under certain circumstances, compete with an intrinsic cardiac rhythm and share control of the heart. Should an electric stimulus fall in the vulnerable phase of the ventricular cycle, potentially dangerous arrhythmias may be provoked (Sowton, 1965; Siddons and Sowton, 1967; Bilitch, Cosby, and Cafferky, 1967). " Ventricular-programmed " or " demand " pacemakers, which can detect and respond to intrinsic ventricular depolarization, have been developed (Goetz, Dormandy, and Berkovits, 1966; Parsonnet

Closed loop stimulation in prevention of vasovagal syncope. Inotropy Controlled Pacing in Vasovagal Syncope (INVASY): a multicentre randomized, single blind, controlled study.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether dual-chamber rate-adaptive Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) could prevent recurrence of Vasovagal Syncope (VVS). BACKGROUND During VVS, an increase in myocardial contractility associated with a reduction of ventricular filling produces an increase in baroreceptor afferent flow and a consequent decrease in the heart rate. The CLS algorithm is a form of rate-adaptiv...
متن کاملLess syncope and milder symptoms in patients treated with pacing for induced cardioinhibitory carotid sinus syndrome: a randomized study.
AIMS The aim of this study was to examine the effect on symptoms in patients with induced cardioinhibitory carotid sinus syndrome (ICSS) when treated or not treated with a pacemaker. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty patients with a history of syncope or pre-syncope and ICSS were randomized to receive a permanent pacemaker (P group, n = 30) or no pacing (NP group, n = 30). ICSS was defined as a ventr...
متن کاملImplications of mechanism of bradycardia on response to pacing in patients with unexplained syncope.
AIM Asystole >3 s or sinus bradycardia with a ventricular rate <40 in association with complete heart block or sinus node dysfunction are considered to be Class 1 indications for permanent cardiac pacing. Nevertheless, these phenomena may be observed in symptomatic patients with neurocardiogenic syncope, who may not respond to pacing therapy. We hypothesized that the pattern of spontaneous brad...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler monitoring during head upright tilt table testing in patients with suspected neurocardiogenic syncope.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the mechanism of cerebrovascular autoregulation in patients with neurocardiogenic syncope using bilateral transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring during head upright tilt table testing (HUT). Two hundred and six patients were prospectively studied. One hundred and fifty-nine subjects (77%) had a prior history of syncope and 47 (23%) had presyncope. Nin...
متن کاملEdward P. Sharpey-Schafer was right: evidence for systemic vasodilatation as a mechanism of hypotension in cough syncope.
Cough syncope typically occurs in middle aged and senior, muscularly built males with a history of chronic obstructive lung disease. Originally, cough syncope was thought to be a form of epilepsy and only in the 1940s it was recognized to be of syncopal nature. The circulatory pathophysiology is, however, still not fully understood. We present data on two cough syncope patients in whom we docum...
