Cardiac Pacing

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1979
The basic electrophysiology of temporary and permanent cardiac pacing is reviewed, as are the indications, the types of pacing systems, and the methods of implantation. Recent developments in power sources and leads are described. The mercury-zinc battery is now obsolete and is being replaced by lithium, rechargeable, and isotopic power systems.

Do the predictors of right ventricular pacing-induced cardiomyopathy add up?

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021
Objective: Knowledge of factors causing pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) is incomplete. We sought to estimate the incidence and predisposing factors for PICM and evaluate if the risk they portend adds up.

Same-day discharge after atrial fibrillation ablation

Heliyon, 2023
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation has become an increasingly effective and safe strategy for the management of AF. With increased safety of catheter ablation, same-day discharge (SDD) is a potential way to minimize health care ...

LDL-C/HDL-C is associated with ischaemic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a case-control study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2020
Background This study explored the relationships between the low−/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LDL-C/HDL-C) and other clinical indicators and ischaemic stroke (IS) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in Xinjiang.

Post–Myocardial Infarction Scar With Fat Deposition Shows Specific Electrophysiological Properties and Worse Outcome After Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Fat deposition (FD) is part of the healing process after myocardial infarction. The characteristics of FD and its impact on the outcome in patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation have not been thoroughly studied.

Single-center experience with wearable cardioverter-defibrillator as a bridge before definitive ICD implantation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2020
Background: The wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) has been approved for patients with poor left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who are at risk of sudden arrhythmic death for a limited period but are not candidates for a definitive ...

Association between lipoprotein(a) and thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a cross-sectional study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2022
Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a recognized risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS); however, its role in thromboembolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) remains controversial.

Left Bundle Branch Pacing in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis and Alternating Bundle Branch Block

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Progressive conduction system disease affects patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, often requiring permanent pacing as the His-Purkinje system is affected. We present a case of left bundle branch pacing in a patient with transthyretin cardiac
