Effects of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Cardio-Respiratory Coupling
In this study, the effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the relationship between the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in heart failure subjects was examined for the first time.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Cardiac differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) can give rise to de novo chamber cardiomyocytes and nodal pacemaker cells. Compared with our understanding of direct differentiation toward atrial and ventricular myocytes, the mechanisms for nodal ...

Multiscale Entropy Analysis: Application to Cardio-Respiratory Coupling
It is known that in pathological conditions, physiological systems develop changes in the multiscale properties of physiological signals. However, in real life, little is known about how changes in the function of one of the two coupled physiological ...

Prototypical pacemaker neurons interact with the resident microbiota
Significance Here, we discover prototypical pacemaker neurons in the ancient cnidarian Hydra and provide evidence for a direct interaction of these neurons with the commensal microbiota.

Successful Removal of 15-year-old Pacemaker Leads by Weight and pulley method [PDF]
Extraction of old pacemaker leads remains a complex procedure owing to fibrotic encapsulation and lead adhesions. We report a case of extraction of 15-year-old pacemaker leads by weight and pulley method.
