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

The European Network for Translational Research in Atrial Fibrillation (EUTRAF): objectives and initial results. [PDF]
, 2015 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the general population. As an age-related arrhythmia AF is becoming a huge socio-economic burden for European healthcare systems. Despite significant progress in our understanding of the

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Skin‐mounted sensors are thin, flexible and lightweight electronic devices that enable monitoring of multiple physiological parameters. The aim of this study was to provide pilot evidence for possible utilization of a sensorized patch for capturing the bodily response to hypoxia. The subsequent phases of the study comprised a case report and a

A REMEDY FOR PAROXYSMAL TACHYCARDIA [PDF]
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1909 What is meant by the term paroxysmal tachycardia is probably pretty well understood by the profession. It is not the purpose of this article to go into the study of the subject, but only to give the remedy. The name essential paroxysmal tachycardia has been given by recent authors to make the meaning more definite.

Repolarization adaptation to rapid change in heart rate in human models – a review
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This review focuses on non‐invasive assessment of repolarization duration and dispersion (heterogeneity) adaptation to change in heart rate (HR). HR was increased incrementally by left atrial pacing during an electrophysiology (EP) study and by a bolus injection of atropine and in a step up/down fashion by repeated right atrial ...
