BACKGROUND This study tested the hypothesis that rate-adaptive atrial pacing would prevent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in patients with frequent PAF in the absence of symptomatic bradycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients (n=97) with antiarrhythmic drug-refractory PAF received a Medtronic Thera DR pacemaker 3 months before planned AV node ablation. Patients were randomized to no pacin...
UNLABELLED Kinetics of Atrial Repolarization Alternans. INTRODUCTION Repolarization alternans (Re-ALT), a beat-to-beat alternation in action potential repolarization, promotes dispersion of repolarization, wavebreaks, and reentry. Recently, Re-ALT has been shown to play an important role in the transition from rapid pacing to atrial fibrillation (AF) in humans. The detailed kinetics of atrial...
BACKGROUND Pulmonary-vein isolation is increasingly being used to treat atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure. METHODS In this prospective, multicenter clinical trial, we randomly assigned patients with symptomatic, drug-resistant atrial fibrillation, an ejection fraction of 40% or less, and New York Heart Association class II or III heart failure to undergo either pulmonary-vein...
Atrial electrical remodeling is thought to be the cause of the maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). Although the initiation and maintenance of AF is partially associated with autonomic nervous tone, vagally mediated AF does not tend to become permanent. Therefore, the effects of preceding vagal stimulation (VS) on the atrial effective refractory period (ERP) under electrical remodeling cond...
INTRODUCTION In the right ventricle, selective site pacing (SSP) has been shown to avoid detrimental hemodynamic effects induced by right ventricular apical pacing and, in the right atrium, to prevent the onset of atrial fibrillation and to slow down disease progression. The purpose of our multicenter observational study was to describe the use of a transvenous 4-French catheter-delivered lead ...
BACKGROUND Several randomized trials have compared atrial-based (dual-chamber or atrial) pacing with ventricular pacing in patients with bradycardia. No trial has shown a mortality reduction, and only 1 small trial suggested a reduction in stroke. The goal of this review was to determine whether atrial-based pacing prevents major cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS A systematic review ...
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and results in prolonged hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of biatrial pacing in preventing post-CABG AF compared with single-site atrial pacing. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 132 patients who had no history of AF and who underwent CABG were randomized to 1 of the f...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is leading cardiac arrhythmia with important clinical implications. Its diagnosis is usually made on the basis on 12-lead ECG or 24-hour Holter monitoring. More and more clinical evidence supports diagnostic use of cardiac event recorders and cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED). Treatment options in patients with atrial fibrillation are extensive and ar...
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation has a high incidence in patients wearing an implantable cardioverter defibrillator for ventricular tachyarrhythmias and may lead to palpitations, heart failure, angina, stroke and inappropriate defibrillator discharge. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a dual chamber defibrillator with atrial antitachycardia functions in treating spontaneous atr...
OBJECTIVES We compared left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function during right ventricular (RV), LV, and biventricular (BiV) pacing in patients with narrow QRS duration with and without LV dysfunction. BACKGROUND The optimal RV pacing lead location for patients with a standard indication for ventricular pacing remains controversial. METHODS Left ventricular pressure and volume da...
