The Dynamic Relationship Among Atrial Pacing, Premature Atrial Beats, Mode Switching, and Atrial High-Rate Episodes in Patients with Sick Sinus Syndrome [PDF]
Kardiyovasküler Tıp E Dergisi/E Journal of Cardiovascular MedicineObjectives: This study aimed to explore the association between atrial pacing percentage, frequency of premature atrial beats, and mode-switch episodes and the occurrence of atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS) who

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]
, 2012 This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

Post-operative atrial fibrillation is influenced by beta-blocker therapy but not by pre-operative atrial cellular electrophysiology [PDF]
, 2006 We investigated whether post-cardiac surgery (CS) new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is predicted by pre-CS atrial cellular electrophysiology, and whether the antiarrhythmic effect of beta-blocker therapy may involve pre-CS pharmacological remodeling ...

Use of an atrial lead with very short tip-to-ring spacing avoids oversensing of far-field R-wave. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The AVOID-FFS (Avoidance of Far-Field R-wave Sensing) study aimed to investigate whether an atrial lead with a very short tip-to-ring spacing without optimization of pacemaker settings shows equally low incidence of far-field R-wave sensing (FFS) when ...

The world upside down – after 20 years of follow-up of dextro-transposition of the great arteries
Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2023 Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a congenital heart disease (CHD) classically palliated with atrial switch (ATR-S) and nowadays corrected with arterial switch (ART-S).

Outcome of Pregnancy in Women With D‐Transposition of the Great Arteries: A Systematic Review
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022 Background Information on maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnancy in women with D‐transposition of the great arteries is limited. We conducted a systematic literature review on pregnancies in women with transposition of the great arteries after atrial ...

Timely Detection of Subclinical Heart Failure Among Children with D-Transposition of Great Arteries after Senning Operation: A Single Center Experience [PDF]
Pediatric Sciences Journal (Egypt)Background: Atrial switch operation, was introduced by Ake Senning in 1958 for patients with D-transposition of great arteries (D-TGA). The major disadvantage of the atrial switch procedure is right ventricle (RV) failure in up to 7% to 10% of patients ...

ECMO support for late presenting arterial switch operation; case report and review of literature
Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2018 Infants presenting for late arterial switch operation are at risk of myocardial depression and cardiac arrest due left ventricle deconditioning. In this report we present a female infant diagnosed to have transposition of great arteries (TGA) with intact
