Background In patients with triple valve replacement developing third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), the most appropriate approach for permanent pacemaker implantation remains questionable.

Physiological cardiac pacing: Current status
Adverse hemodynamics of right ventricular (RV) pacing is a well-known fact. It was believed to be the result of atrio-ventricular (AV) dyssynchrony and sequential pacing of the atrium and ventricle may solve these problems.

Impulse data models for the inverse problem of electrocardiography [PDF]
The proposed method re-frames traditional inverse problems of electrocardiography into regression problems, constraining the solution space by decomposing signals with multidimensional Gaussian impulse basis functions. Impulse HSPs were generated with single Gaussian basis functions at discrete heart surface locations and projected to corresponding ...

Multiscale studies of delayed afterdepolarizations I: A comparison of two biophysically realistic mathematical models for human ventricular myocytes [PDF]
Focal arrhythmias, which arise from delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs), are observed in various pathophysiological heart conditions; these can lead to sudden cardiac death. A clear understanding of the electrophysiological factors of cardiac myocytes, which lead to DADs, can suggest pharmacological targets that can eliminate DAD-induced arrhythmias ...

Percent ventricular pacing with managed ventricular pacing mode in standard pacemaker population [PDF]
Unnecessary right ventricular pacing has deleterious effects and becomes more significant when cumulative percent ventricular pacing (Cum%VP) exceeds 40% of time. The Managed Ventricular Pacing (MVP) mode has been shown to significantly reduce the percent ventricular pacing compared to the DDD/R mode.

Sudden failure of ventricular pacing and recovery in a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis
A 76-year-old woman with sarcoidosis who had an implantable pacemaker for complete atrioventricular block was admitted with syncope. Electrocardiogram revealed ventricular pacing failure, and a marked rise in the ventricular pacing threshold.

Right ventricular apical pacing may cause or worsen mitral regurgitation (MR). Potential mechanisms for this adverse sequelae include intraventricular dyssynchrony, altered papillary muscle function, pacing-induced cardiomyopathy with left ventricular ...

Panoramic Voltage-Sensitive Optical Mapping of Contracting Hearts using Cooperative Multi-View Motion Tracking with 12 to 24 Cameras [PDF]
Action potential waves triggering the heart's contractions can be imaged at high spatial and temporal resolutions across the heart surface using voltage-sensitive optical mapping. However, for over three decades, optical mapping has been performed with contraction-inhibited hearts.

Mechanisms of vortices termination in the cardiac muscle [PDF]
We propose a solution to a long standing problem: how to terminate multiple vortices in the heart, when the locations of their cores and their critical time windows are unknown. We scan the phases of all pinned vortices in parallel with electric field pulses (E-pulses).

Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Septal Pacing Is Superior to Right Ventricular Apical Pacing [PDF]
Background The effects of right ventricular apical pacing ( RVAP ) and right ventricular outflow tract ( RVOT ) septal pacing on atrial and ventricular electrophysiology have not been thoroughly compared ...
