Cardiac rhythm management is undergoing a significant shift. For decades, cardiac resynchronisation therapy has helped restore synchrony in patients with heart failure and electrical conduction ...

With numerical simulations, researchers have demonstrated a new way to time weak electrical pulses that can stop certain life-threatening arrhythmias. The group shows that timed pulses are successful ...

AMSTERDAM -- Reducing atrial pacing didn't help prevent atrial fibrillation (Afib, or AF) in patients with sinus node dysfunction but did increase risk of fainting, the DANPACE II trial showed. The ...

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands—In patients with sinus node dysfunction treated with dual-chamber pacemakers, minimizing atrial pacing doesn’t lower the likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) ...

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) constitute a major breakthrough in the management of heart rhythm disorders. These devices largely include bradycardia pacemakers, biventricular ...

Minimizing atrial pacing does not prevent atrial fibrillation in patients with sinus node dysfunction, according to late-breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023.

Background: The purpose of this article is to critically review the data accumulated to date from studies evaluating the hemodynamic and clinical effects of right ventricular apical pacing during ...

Peter Spector, M.D.; Nicole Habel, M.D. With H and V-capture there is a combination of these findings. Local V activation is early, QRS onset is early, and QRS end is also early. The QRS duration is ...

The ACC, AHA, and HRS released an updated training statement for clinical cardiac electrophysiology, addressing new competencies and technologies.
