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

Pneumothorax as a complication of cardiac rhythm management devices implantation [PDF]
Introduction/Objective. Pneumothorax is one of the most common complications of cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices implantation. We aimed to assess the incidence of pneumothorax after implantation of these devices and to determine risk factors for ...

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 ...

Dragoljub (Bata) Adamov (1927-1996): The first pacemaker implantation in Serbia [PDF]
It has been over half a century since the implementation of pacemaker therapy in our country and the region. The first successful implantation of a pacemaker in former Yugoslavia and in Serbia took place on September 16, 1965 in “Dr.

Endogenous driving and synchronization in cardiac and uterine virtual tissues: bifurcations and local coupling [PDF]
Cardiac and uterine muscle cells and tissue can be either autorhythmic or excitable. These behaviours exchange stability at bifurcations produced by changes in parameters, which if spatially localized can produce an ectopic pacemaking focus.

Feasibility of physiological pacing rate in cardiac resynchronization therapy
Aims Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional capacity in heart failure patients, a blunted heart rate (HR) response remains after treatment.
