Some pacemakers can last as long as 15 years. (Photo Credit: Digital Vision/Getty Images) A pacemaker is about 2 x 1.5 inches in size and weighs about an ounce. You might be able to see it under your skin, though some of the newer ones are too small to be seen. The heart has it...
Tomography, X-Ray ComputedPacemaker, ArtificialMaleRecently, 18 F- FDG PET /CT has emerged as a valuable tool to evaluate infection as illustrated in this pediatric case [ 1 鈥 3 ]. A 9-year-old boy was hospitalized for low-grade fever and induration in the epigastric region. Previously...
also often in the superior vena cava. They can be recognized on x-ray as focal areas of wire thickening. Strong currents pass between the shock coils to depolarize the heart. Sometimes the housing of the PG functions as an additional current source, the so-called "active can" configuration....

Lateral fluoroscopic images are essential in visualizing anterior/posterior lead position. Consideration should be given to mandatory, early echocardiography to visualize lead position with careful scrutiny of chest X-ray findings when a paced RBBB pattern exists. A Klein maneuver and implementation of ...
1-A) while chest x-ray showed normal lead positions in right arial appendage and right ventricular apex. The sensed and paced AV delay was 170 msec and 200 msec respectively, with a lower tracking rate (LTR) of 60/min and the upper tracking rate (UTR) of 130/min. Routine device ...

X-Ray Computed TomographyArtificial cardiac pacemakerBackground: Pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) are widely used for the management of cardiac arrhythmias and congestive heart failure (CHF). Acute implantation complication rates range from 3% to 7%. The aim of this study is ...
Right ventricular placement was confirmed by electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest X ray. The following day, a QRS configuration with a right bundle branch (RBBB) pattern was seen on the telemetry monitor. An echocardiogram showed that the pacing lead now crossed through an atrial septal defect into...
