A New Pacemaker Algorithm for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT) Electrophysiologic Characteristics of the Spontaneous Onset and ...

Seeing a loved one pass out with their eyes rolled back is a terrifying thing to experience. That minute or two you li ...

Wandering atrial pacemaker is similar to multifocal atrial tachycardia except the heart rate is normal ― that is, less than 100 beats per minute. Wandering atrial pacemaker occurs when multiple ...

the first and only U.S. commercially approved algorithm designed to suppress atrial fibrillation (AF). The AF Suppression algorithm in the Identity pacemaker family is combined with the most ...

Early complications were higher in patients receiving atrial-based pacemakers in both age groups (<75 years: 4.6% vs 2.4%; ≥75 years: 6.6% vs 3.7%); however, the relative risk was not influenced ...

And you'll have to stay away from machines with strong magnetic fields, such as metal detectors and MRI machines, as they can affect your pacemaker's electrical signals. Risks of atrial ...

A pacemaker may also be implanted in people with atrial fibrillation who experience sick sinus syndrome, in which the heart fluctuates between episodes of AFib and a slow heart rate. The maze ...

Patients requiring a pacemaker often have atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of thromboembolism and, consequently, the risk of morbidity and mortality. To maintain sinus rhythms ...

If the heart rate is < 100 beats per minute, then the rhythm is called wandering atrial pacemaker (WAP). The differential diagnosis of an irregularly irregular rhythm includes atrial fibrillation ...

This way, everyone who has AFib is not treated the same way. Heart rate control is a key way to manage atrial fibrillation. Doctors consider it one of the four pillars of AFib care. One way to ...

Subsequent data analysis found that a ‘subsidiary atrial pacemaker’ (SAP) takes over from the nearby sinoatrial, or SA Node, the primary way the heart generates electrical signals that make it beat, ...
