Midterm Follow-up and Outcome of Pacemakers in Children: A Single Center Experience [PDF]

Journal of Health Sciences and Surveillance System, 2022
Background: Pacemaker implantation is an effective life-long treatment in patients with atrioventricular block to generate a reliable heartbeat. Choosing between epicardial and endocardial (trans-venous) techniques in children is based on the cardiac ...

Feasibility of physiological pacing rate in cardiac resynchronization therapy

ESC Heart Failure, 2023
Aims Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional capacity in heart failure patients, a blunted heart rate (HR) response remains after treatment.

Minithoracotomy as the primary alternative for left ventricular lead implantation during cardiac resynchronization therapy: Can the cardiac surgeon reduce the number of nonresponders [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2017
Introduction/Objective. Numerous anomalies of the cardiac venous system prevent the optimal endovascular implantation of the left ventricular (LV) lead in more than 15% of patients with indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Incidence of carditis and predictors of pacemaker implantation in patients hospitalized with Lyme disease

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Lyme carditis, defined as direct infection of cardiac tissue by Borrelia bacteria, affects up to 10% of patients with Lyme disease. The most frequently reported clinical manifestation of Lyme carditis is cardiac conduction system disease.

A case of dual atrioventricular nodal nonreentrant tachycardia: An unusual cause of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2015
We report on a 45-year-old female who developed cardiomyopathy due to incessant dual atrioventricular nodal nonreentrant tachycardia. Her condition was completely resolved by performing radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway.

SHOX2 Overexpression Favors Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Cardiac Pacemaker Cells, Improving Biological Pacing Ability

Stem Cell Reports, 2015
Summary: When pluripotency factors are removed, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) undergo spontaneous differentiation, which, among other lineages, also gives rise to cardiac sublineages, including chamber cardiomyocytes and pacemaker cells. Such heterogeneity

Potential effects of intrinsic heart pacemaker cell mechanisms on dysrhythmic cardiac action potential firing

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
The heart’s regular electrical activity is initiated by specialized cardiac pacemaker cells residing in the sinoatrial node. The rate and rhythm of spontaneous action potential firing of sinoatrial node cells are regulated by stochastic mechanisms that ...
