This ectopic focus becomes the predominant pacemaker of the heart. When the atrial rate is greater than 100 beats per minute, the rhythm is atrial tachycardia. If less than 100 beats per minute ...

Patients requiring a pacemaker often have atrial fibrillation (AF), which increases the risk of thromboembolism and, consequently, the risk of morbidity and mortality. To maintain sinus rhythms ...

Background. This algorithm increases the pacing rate when the native rhythm emerges and periodically reduces the rate to search for intrinsic atrial activity. Methods. Symptomatic AF burden ...

Walking is great for your heart. It helps with many underlying risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol, ...

Wandering atrial pacemaker is similar to multifocal atrial tachycardia except the heart rate is normal ― that is, less than 100 beats per minute. Wandering atrial pacemaker occurs when multiple ...

The management of atrial fibrillation (AF) focuses on control of heart rate, correction of rhythm disturbance, prophylaxis of thromboembolism, treatment of underlying disorders, and ...

A study reveals that brisk walking can significantly reduce the risk of heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation ...

UK digital health company RHYTHM AI has claimed FDA approval for a new version of its algorithm for mapping areas of the heart that are affected by atrial fibrillation (AFib) that will be rolled ...

Cortez talked with the patient and their family about pacemaker options. Dual chamber leadless pacemakers help regulate the heart's rhythm by stimulating the heart's upper (atrial) and lower ...

WASHINGTON, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) released a framework outlining criteria for establishing an Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Center of Excellence (CoE ...
