Cardiomyopathy Induced by Artificial Heart Stimulation
With the advent of cardiac pacemakers more than 60 years ago, the era of artificial cardiac pacing began, which changed the natural history of symptomatic bradycardias, significantly increasing the survival especially of patients with complete ...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Reconsidering Its Essence as a Treatment for Electrical Dyssynchrony in Heart Failure. [PDF]
Flow of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure management. Heart failure (HF) patients with electrical dyssynchrony are first identified through screening. If electrical dyssynchrony contributes to HF deterioration, CRT is initiated to improve electrical synchrony.

A Review of Atrial Fibrillation Detection Methods as a Service [PDF]
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common heart arrhythmia that often goes undetected, and even if it is detected, managing the condition may be challenging. In this paper, we review how the RR interval and Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, incorporated into a
