Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.Device detected atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea. CV = coefficient of variation; RDI = Respiratory disturbance index. ABSTRACT Using pacemaker‐derived thoracic impedance monitoring, sleep apnea severity and its night‐to‐night variability can be continuously tracked in patients with implanted cardiac devices.

, 2017 Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a generalized abnormality of cardiac impulse formation. Abnormalities encompassed by this syndrome may include inappropriate sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, bradyarrhythmias, or tachyarrhythmias.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemaker implantation traditionally relies on fluoroscopy and contrast‐guided techniques. However, in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, the use of contrast carries a risk of nephrotoxicity, and fluoroscopy leads to additional ionizing radiation exposure.

Familial sick sinus syndrome in two siblings
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1993 Two siblings with sinus node disease are presented. The patients were severely affected and required permanent pacing. A cardiac electrophysiologic study was conducted in Case 2, which revealed an atrioventricular conduction disturbance in ...

Impact of Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Position on Subclinical Right Ventricular Perforation
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Leadless pacemakers are typically implanted in the mid‐septum of the right ventricle (RV) to mitigate the risk of perforation. However, reports on the precise location of these implants are limited. This study aimed to elucidate tine‐based leadless pacemaker position and presence of subclinical RV perforation through computed ...

Werner Irnich: Pioneer in the Development of the Dual‐Chamber Pacemaker—An Obituary
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Werner Irnich presented the concept of an optimal pacemaker capable of responding appropriately to various cardiac arrhythmias and perceptual disturbances, and intended to be used in 85% of patients. With this concept, Irnich was far ahead of his time. His proposed circuitry for AV block and atrial fibrillation, as well as his

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We hereby report a case of a 75‐year‐old patient who developed a large left‐sided hemopneumothorax after a routine dual‐chamber pacemaker insertion. The rare complication was caused by the pacing lead injuring the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) after perforating the right ventricle.

Novel Mutation in the α-Myosin Heavy Chain Gene Is Associated With Sick Sinus Syndrome
, 2015 Recent genome-wide association studies have demonstrated an association between MYH6, the gene encoding α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC), and sinus node function in the general population.
