Feasibility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in temporary permanent pacemaker implants in pediatric myocarditis and complete atrioventricular block

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Diagnosing myocarditis in children presenting with complete AV block (CAVB) is challenging. Temporary permanent pacing support using standard transvenous active fixation lead can be inserted percutaneously until recovery.

Spatial heterogeneity enhances and modulates excitability in a mathematical model of the myometrium [PDF]

, 2013
The muscular layer of the uterus (myometrium) undergoes profound changes in global excitability prior to parturition. Here, a mathematical model of the myocyte network is developed to investigate the hypothesis that spatial heterogeneity is essential to ...

Comparison of right ventricular global longitudinal strain between pacemaker lead position in patients with permanent pacemaker

Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia
Background: The implantation of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) can reduce right ventricular function. Echocardiography using speckle tracking can detect a decreasing in right ventricular function earlier.

Long-term clinical outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation predisposing to tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome: a long pause predicts implantation of a permanent pacemaker

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
Background There is a controversy as to whether catheter ablation should be the first-line therapy for tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

Pediatric endocardial temporary pacemaker implantation: Clinical characteristics and outcomes from a Chinese National Regional Health Center

Pediatric Discovery
Endocardial temporary pacemakers (TP) are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases in adults, but their application and clinical experience in the treatment of pediatric cardiovascular cases are relatively limited. This study aims to share

Transcatheter heart valve selection and permanent pacemaker implantation in patients with pre-existent right bundle branch block [PDF]

, 2017
Background-Right bundle branch block is an established predictor for new conduction disturbances and need for a permanent pacemaker (PPM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Right bundle branch block pattern in right ventricular endocardial pacing: A needless concern?

Heart India, 2013
Right ventricular (RV) endocardial pacing in permanent pacemaker implantation usually yields a left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern in surface electrocardiogram (ECG).

Utilizing the Boston Syncope Observation Management Pathway to Reduce Hospital Admission and Decrease Adverse Outcomes [PDF]

, 2019
Introduction: In an age of increasing scrutiny of each hospital admission, emergency department (ED) observation has been identified as a low-cost alternative. Prior studies have shown admission rates for syncope in the United States to be as high as 70%.
