Background Cardiac surgery carries a heightened risk of bradyarrhythmias, but current permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation ...

Indications for pacemaker implantation included complete atrioventricular block in 59, symptomatic bradycardia/slow atrial fibrillation in nine, second-degree atrioventricular block in two ...

A temporary pacemaker had been inserted because of atrioventricular block. The importance and grave complications of competitive rhythm in patients with artificial pacemakers is discussed.

Seventy-two patients (1.4%) required permanent pacemaker implantation. Indications for PPM implantation included: (i) complete atrioventricular (AV) block in 59; of these, 35 were immediate in ...

PARIS - Scientists said on April 2 they have developed the world’s tiniest pacemaker, a temporary heartbeat regulator smaller than a grain of rice that can be injected and controlled by light ...

The most common indication for pacemaker implantation was congenital atrioventricular block, followed by postoperative atrioventricular block and sinus node dysfunction. One patient had second ...

AV node ablation destroys this connection stopping any atrial activity from reaching the ventricle. This results in the intrinsic pacemaker of the heart shifting from the atria to the ventricles.

If resting heart rate is abnormally low or fails to increase with hormonal changes, pacemakers can help keep blood and oxygen ...

Worlds smallest pacemaker, tinier than a grain of rice developed by scientists. Scientists at Northwestern University have developed the world's smallest pacemaker that can fit inside the tip of a ...

He said the pacemaker's position underneath his tattoo ... The British Heart Foundation has said an atrioventricular heart block is when the electrical impulses are delayed or blocked as they ...
