Reports on the significance of ablation of the atrioventricular node and pacemaker insertion for severe atrial fibrillation. Improvement of the left ventricular function; Decline of the survival rates upon treatment; Safety of the procedure for atrial fibrillation.Zolot...
We assess whether AV node ablation and pacemaker implantation after discontinuation of effective rate-control medical therapy for chronic atrial fibrillation had a positive impact on quality of life and exercise performance. To assess the possibility of a placebo effect following pacemaker implantation, th...
An AV node ablation and insertion o a permanent pacemaker will regulate your heart rate and provide relie rom the symptoms you have been experiencing. This procedure stops the ast, irregular impulses rom the atria reaching the ventricles. The procedure The AV node slows the electrical signals ...
sinus node dysfunctionIn patients needing a pacemaker (PM) for bradycardia indications, the amount of right ventricular (RV) apical pacing has been correlated with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and heart failure (HF) in both DDD and VVI mode. RV pacing was linked with left ventricular (LV) dys...
The impact of a right bundle branch block (RBBB), inadvertently created prior to complete ablation of the atrioventricular (AV) junction, on the intrinsic subsidiary pacemaker function was investigated. In 31 patients suffering from intractable supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, catheter ablation of the AV...
Whenever AV node modification is attempted before the patient has grown to full adult size, the operator must remain mindful of the reduced dimensions of Koch’s triangle, and if it ever appears that ablation energy has to be delivered uncomfortably close to the presumptive site of the compact ...
After a follow-up of 2.1±2 years, pacemaker implantation was implanted in 15 patients, 1 patient with traumatic AVB3 aged 81 years, 5 patients with AVB3 during ablation, 2 with permanent AVB3 (0.2%) and 3 with transitory AVB3 and 9 patients without AVB during ablation. In these last ...
Background:Patients with more than one AV nodal pathway show two and more peaks in the histogram of the R-R intervals of the Holter monitoring ECG during atrial fibrillation. It was the purpose of the present study to determine the number of patients showing more than one AV nodal pathway ...
Exemplary methods for affecting conduction and/or operation of the AV node and/or AV bundle. Various exemplary methods include delivery of one or more stimulation pulses to affect conduction and/or operation of an AV node and/or AV bundle. Such delivery optionally stimulates nerves and/or tissue...
The patient was qualified for pacemaker implantation and antiarrhythmic treatment by his GP. Successful ablation of atrial tachycardia revealed that SA and AV node properties were in the normal range; therefore no pacemaker implantation was needed. 展开 ...
