Background: Symptomatic prolonged sinus pauses on termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) are an accepted indication for pacemaker implantation. We evaluated the outcome of AF ablation in patients ...

Before catheter ablation or pacemaker implantation, all patients in both groups actually met the criteria for permanent pacing due to symptomatic prolonged sinus pauses on termination of AF (Fig.

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.

“It was an experience that dramatically improved my life,” said Mike Prescott of Kenosha, who retired a couple of years ago ...

For medically refractory vasovagal syncope (VVS) and functional bradycardia, the feasibility of off-label catheter ...
