Case Report: Exploration of pacemaker-specific disease management based on a generalist-specialist collaboration model

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThe management of patients with pacemakers in the community is challenged by limited resources and the need for advanced specialty care.MethodsA remote monitoring system for pacemakers was incorporated into a generalist-specialist care model ...

Engineered Cardiac Pacemaker Nodes Created by TBX18 Gene Transfer Overcome Source–Sink Mismatch

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2019
Every heartbeat originates from a tiny tissue in the heart called the sinoatrial node (SAN). The SAN harbors only ≈10 000 cardiac pacemaker cells, initiating an electrical impulse that captures the entire heart, consisting of billions of cardiomyocytes ...

The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Self-Synchronizing Cardiac Pacemaker

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1966
A new kind of cardiac pacemaker for direct heart stimulation in cases of intermittent or variable heart block is presented. The pacemaker is capable of providing stimuli either synchronously with ventricular depolarization or at a fixed rate when natural pacing fails.

Differential sensitivity of cardiac pacemakers to exogenous adenosine in vivo

open access: yes, 1990
Adenosine exerts pronounced depressant effects on cardiac pacemakers. Previous studies in vitro have indicated that different pacemakers exhibit variable sensitivity to adenosine: ventricular greater than junctional greater than sinus node pacemakers ...

Forecasting heart failure: Seasonal alignment of heart failure outcomes in New York

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 819-831, April 2025.
Abstract Background Seasonal variations have been observed in heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Numerous explanatory mechanisms have been proposed, but no prior studies have examined potential contributors directly. Our objective was to identify specific factors that could contribute to seasonal variability using a large longitudinal dataset of HF ...

Incident heart failure: comparing management and outcome in primary and hospital settings in Western Sweden 2008–2017

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 832-838, April 2025.
Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Perioperative management of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology
The use of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has increased significantly in recent years. Consequently, more patients with CIEDs will undergo surgery during their lifetime, and thus the involvement of anesthesiologists in the perioperative ...
