Method A short survey was undertaken in order to gauge the ability of doctors of all grades to recognise AF, and adequate anticoagulation, in the patient with chronic right ventricular pacing (RVp), based on ECG interpretation. Participants were trainee doctors from different grades including ...
we traced EAT-derived exosomes by local Ad-CD63-RFP injection. We found that the fluorescence intensity of the virus was markedly greater in the pacing group than in the sham group (20.2 ± 1.7 vs. 9.2 ± 1.6,P < 0.001), while GW4869 treatment significantly...
Figure 1) with variable AV conduction, multifocal atrial tachycardia (Figure 2), and wandering atrial pacemaker. Conversely, a regular pulse or rhythm does not exclude AF. For example, AF can manifest with a regular ventricular response in the presence of AV block or with a ventricular paced ...
One patient with ventricular septal defect (VSD) underwent concomitant VSD repair. The baseline demographic data was shown in Table 1. There was no significant difference in age, sex, AAD use, duration of MAT, time of MAT occurrence post-surgery, major comorbidities and echocardiographic ...
METHODS: Fifty nine NYHA class III patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, chronic atrial fibrillation, slow ventricular rate necessitating permanent ventricular pacing, and a wide QRS complex (paced width >or=200 ms), were implanted with transvenous biventricular-VVIR pacemakers. This ...
Atrial and ventricular mechanics in patients after Fontan-type procedures: atriopulmonary connection versus extracardiac conduit. J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2014;27:66674. YapSC, HarrisL, DownarE, NanthakumarK, SilversidesCK, ChauhanVS. Evolving electroanatomic substrate and intra-atrial reentrant ...
Brain natriuretic peptide predicts chronic atrial fibrillation after ventricular pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome. Chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the main complications of sick sinus syndrome (SSS). As previously reported, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (B... H Horie,T Tsuta...
All patients received a Trilogy DR+/DAO (model 2360L or 2364L) or an Integrity AFx (model 5346) pacemaker (St. Jude Medical, Cardiac Rhythm Management Division) combined with existing or newly implanted market-approved bipolar atrial and ventricular pacing leads. Devices were programmed to DDDR...
It has been shown in non-ischaemic ventricular myocytes that almost all ATP is derived from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, with the remainder from glycolysis and GTP formation in the Krebs cycle. During oxidative phosphorylation, four multi-protein complexes (Complexes I–IV) which make up ...
The paced percentage of HBP or LBBP was also assessed. A comprehensive assessment was also performed consisting of a medical questionnaire, physical examination, and quality of life assessments. Ventricular functions and remodeling were assessed by echocardiography with an modality of pacing who is ...
