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

Pacing with restoration of respiratory sinus arrhythmia improved cardiac contractility and the left ventricular output: a translational study [PDF]
Introduction: Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is a prognostic value for patients with heart failure and is defined as a beat-to-beat variation of the timing between the heart beats. Patients with heart failure or patients with permanent cardiac pacing

Hybrid Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Contemporary Overview
Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins (PVI) is the cornerstone of invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, arrhythmia-free survival of a PVI only approach is suboptimal in patients with persistent and long-term persistent AF.
