Observations on Optimal Programming of Closed Loop Cardiac Pacemakers in Patients with Refractory Neurocardiogenic Syncope
نویسندگان
چکیده
There have been few reports on the use of closed loop cardiac pacing in patients suffering from refractory neurocardiogenic syncope. The optimal pacing algorithm using closed loop cardiac pacing has not been well studied. We herein present our single center experience on the specific pacing algorithm, which has been successful in almost 84% of patients.

متن کاملSyncope in childhood.
Syncope in childhood is very common. The vast majority of episodes are benign, and are due to neurocardiogenic syncope. Only a minority are due to something potentially more serious or life threatening. The diagnosis and differentiation of benign from more serious causes of syncope is made primarily by the history. Investigations are often unfruitful. The mainstay of management in neurocardioge...

Background: Syncope is a common clinical problem which can be remarkably debilitating and associated with high health care costs. Syncope is a clinical syndrome with many potential causes. The aim of the study was to determine the etiologies of patients with syncope in the emergency department (ED) of a referral and general university hospital. Methods: One hundred sixty-five consecutive ...
متن کامل9 Widening Indications
Apart from support of heart rate in patients of symptomatic bradycardia, in the last two decades, the indications of pacemakers have widened to prevent arrhythmias, optimise hemodynamic functions and suppress tachyarrhythmias. Pacemakers have been successfully used in Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) to reduce LVOT gradient and in improving cardiac output in patients of dilated ca...
متن کاملCommon questions about pacemakers.
Pacemakers are indicated in patients with certain symptomatic bradyarrhythmias caused by sinus node dysfunction, and in those with frequent, prolonged sinus pauses. Patients with third-degree or complete atrioventricular (AV) block benefit from pacemaker placement, as do those with type II second-degree AV block because of the risk of progression to complete AV block. The use of pacemakers in p...
