Diagnostic value of implantable loop recorders in patients with unexplained syncope or palpitations
Background The implantable loop recorder (ILR) is a small cardiac rhythm‐monitoring device. Our aim was to determine ILR diagnostic value in patients with unexplained syncope, presyncope, or palpitations suggesting cardiac arrhythmias.

Approach to the treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiovascular risk profile: Multicentric international study [PDF]
Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia that requires treatment, does not come out of the focus of researchers. Monitoring its prevalence and effects of therapy is a good guideline approach to the growing population of

Transvenous lead placement and its pre-sternal tunneling to the contralateral side as a solution for pacemaker system upgrade in case of the subclavian vein thrombosis [PDF]
Introduction. Chronic right ventricular pacing can deteriorate cardiac function. Consequently, pacemaker system upgrades are more frequently indicated. These interventions can be hindered by venous thrombosis.

The role of cardiac pacing therapy in the management of carotid sinus syndrome [PDF]
Introduction. Carotid sinus syndrome is characterized by a hypersensitive carotid sinus and syncope. Although we have clear guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of carotid sinus syndrome, the efficacy of pacing therapy with this indication

Is pacemaker therapy the right key to patients with vasovagal syncope? [PDF]
Introduction. Vasovagal syncope is the most common type of reflex syncope. Efficacy of cardiac pacing in this indication has not been the subject of many studies and pacemaker therapy in patients with vasovagal syncope is still controversial ...

A Pacemaker that was Avoided [PDF]
Thyroxine is an essential hormone in the human body and exerts many effects on the cardiovascular system. The low metabolic state in hypothyroidism causes bradycardia and reduced cardiac contractility leading to reduced cardiac output. Severe bradycardia and atrioventricular (AV) blocks secondary to hypothyroidism have also been reported.

Allergic complications following pacemaker insertion are rare. However, when they do occur, they usually mimic pacemaker infection, which may lead to multiple device replacements and an increased burden of morbidity. Reactions can take the form of dermatitis localized in the area above implantation, and, uncommonly, generalized or remote site ...
