USA: A large-scale study published in Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy has revealed that ventricular arrhythmias ...

Your heart’s job is to keep your pulse steady to pump blood throughout your body. Sometimes your heart rate is slower when you’re relaxing, and sometimes it’s faster when you’re exercising or stressed ...

In ICD patients, pacemaker-induced VT/VF is a real phenomenon -- not just spontaneous tachycardia -- that can be avoided easily -- just turn off the right ventricular backup pacing feature of an ICD.

Ventricular fibrillation was preceded by a short bout of ventricular tachycardia, which followed immediately the inscription of a pacemaker impulse 0.19 second from the onset of the QRS and at the ...

Ventricular tachycardia, unless very transient, is an alarming complication that, fortunately, has been rare. Ventricular fibrillation has also occurred rarely (3 in our series of over 1500 ...

The autopsies revealed a non-cardiac cause of death in six of the 22. Six of the 14 pacemaker sudden deaths and seven of eight defibrillator sudden deaths were from ventricular tachycardia (VT, very ...

Pacemaker and Defibrillator Therapy in Pediatrics and Congenital Heart Disease Terrence Chun Disclosures Future Cardiol. 2008;4 (5):469-479. 0 ...

The explanted devices included 107 pacemakers, 22 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), 14 cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) systems, and six implantable loop recorders.

(HealthDay)—A leadless anti-tachycardia pacemaker (LP) and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) are feasible in animal models, according to a study published online May 12 ...

In patients who had severe COVID-19, the incidence rates per 1,000 person-years of ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, other tachyarrhythmias, and bradycardia/pacemaker implantation were ...

MARVEL 2 is an early study looking at use of the leadless Micra ventricular pacemaker to provide atrioventricular synchronous pacing in patients with normal sinus rhythm. The authors demonstrate ...
