BACKGROUND The effect of a hybrid intravenous and oral prophylactic amiodarone regimen on postcardiothoracic surgery (CTS) atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. The impact of active atrial septal pacing on post-CTS AF has not been well characterized. In addition, the effect of using both amiodarone and atrial septal pacing together to prevent atrial fibrillation is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS...
The present investigation evaluates the ability of several electrocardiographic (ECG) and electrophysiologic methods to identify multiple accessory pathways in 47 patients in whom the presence and sites of multiple accessory pathways were confirmed intraoperatively. To establish ECG features that suggested the presence of multiple accessory pathways in these patients, we initially studied the 1...
BACKGROUND Left ventricular septal (LVS) pacing reduces ventricular dyssynchrony and improves cardiac function relative to right ventricular apex (RVA) pacing in animals. We aimed to establish permanent placement of an LVS pacing lead in patients using a transvenous approach through the interventricular septum. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten patients with sinus node dysfunction scheduled for dual-ch...
Interatrial block (IAB) denotes a conduction delay between the two atria (P-wave duration ≥110 ms). Depending on the severity of the block, IAB can be partial or advanced. Even though several studies have reported a high prevalence of IAB, it still remains a diagnosis many neglect without any follow-up. The crisis in IAB is undramatic until predictable complications appear. Nevertheless, the da...
INTRODUCTION Recent efforts to increase CRT response by multiSPOT pacing (MSP) from multiple bipols on the same left ventricular lead are still inconclusive. AIM The Left Ventricular (LV) MultiSPOTpacing for CRT (iSPOT) study compared the acute hemodynamic response of MSP pacing by using 3 electrodes on a quadripolar lead compared with conventional biventricular pacing (BiV). METHODS Patien...
AIMS Selective atrial pacing algorithms have been developed for prevention of atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF). Although short-term studies have shown modest to minimal incremental benefit of these algorithms compared with conventional dual-chamber (DDD/R) pacing for prevention of AT/AF, the long-term effects of these algorithms are unknown. Accordingly, we compared atrial antitac...
Thirteen patients have completed a randomised double blind cross over study to compare the effects of chronic ventricular and atrial synchronous pacing on exercise capacity and symptoms. Maximal symptom limited exercise was significantly increased after one month of atrial synchronous pacing compared with ventricular pacing. Symptomatic assessment (by diary card and monthly symptom scores) of "...
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of pacing modes on the interaction between the left ventricle and arterial system in humans. DESIGN The slope of the end systolic pressure-volume relation (end systolic elastance), effective arterial elastance, the ratio of effective arterial elastance to end systolic elastance, and mechanical energy efficiency were compared under different pacing modes (atria...
BACKGROUND Atrial-based pacing is associated with lower risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in sick sinus syndrome compared with ventricular pacing; nevertheless, the impact of site and rate of atrial pacing on progression of AF remains unclear. We evaluated whether long-term atrial pacing at the right atrial (RA) appendage versus the low RA septum with (ON) or without (OFF) a continuous atrial ov...
We present a complication of the infected pacing system extraction by lobular pneumonia in a 73-year-old female patient. The pacing system involved DDD pacemaker, atrial and ventricular endocardial leads implanted 12 year beforehand. The defect of the atrial lead emerged during the pacemaker replacement 4 years ago. The diagnosis of the injury cause and its reparation were not undertaken at tha...
