ABSTRACT In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node disease (SND) represents a potentially reversible concomitant condition. Initial treatment with catheter ablation (CA) aimed at restoration of sinus rhythm may provide an alternative to pacemaker implantation. In this case series, 15 elderly patients (>65 years) with AF and SND underwent CA,

ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

A Spinning Nightmare of Twiddler's Syndrome?
ABSTRACT Twiddler's syndrome is a known complication of CIED implantation. Most published cases of Twiddler's syndrome are described as being secondary to patient manipulation of the pulse generator leading to horizontal rotation and “reeling” of the pacemaker leads around the generator. The authors of this paper present a case of an 81‐year‐old female

ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemaker implantation traditionally relies on fluoroscopy and contrast‐guided techniques. However, in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, the use of contrast carries a risk of nephrotoxicity, and fluoroscopy leads to additional ionizing radiation exposure.
