MINERVA Trial Presented at Heart Rhythm Meeting Shows Medtronic Advanced Pacing Features Reduce the Progression of Persistent AF by 58 Percent While Reducing AF-Related Hospital Visits That Lead to ...

Pacemakers identify atrial fibrillation and enable initiation of anticoagulation to prevent strokes, according to new research. "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and ...

The human heart is a highly complex pump made of muscle, complete with its own electric power system, supplying the energy and oxygen it needs to function. The heart’s pumping action is regulated by ...

A New Pacemaker Algorithm for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT) Electrophysiologic Characteristics of the Spontaneous Onset and ...

PHILADELPHIA — Accelerometer-based atrial sensing with a novel, enhanced, automated algorithm in patients with atrioventricular block and a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle ...

If you have atrial fibrillation (AFib), you may not need any treatment, or you may be able to manage it with medication. But this condition is almost always progressive and often needs lifelong ...

People with pacemakers or defibrillators who experience only short episodes of an abnormal heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation have a very low risk of stroke, suggesting that anticoagulants in ...

THURSDAY, May 5, 2016 -- People with heart pacemakers and sleep apnea are at much greater risk for a dangerous heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, a new study suggests. With sleep apnea, ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...

Background A routine sports evaluation identified constant alternation between a junctional and idioventricular rhythm in a 9-year-old child. During exercise testing, electrography demonstrated that ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . This ECG makes you initially think of atrial fibrillation, as the rhythm is very irregular. It is actually what ...
