Background: The epidemiology and clinical implications of asymptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) including both atrial fibrillation and flutter in pacemaker recipients with and without ...

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 ...

Seeing a loved one pass out with their eyes rolled back is a terrifying thing to experience. That minute or two you li ...

the first and only U.S. commercially approved algorithm designed to suppress atrial fibrillation (AF). The AF Suppression algorithm in the Identity pacemaker family is combined with the most ...

as they can affect your pacemaker's electrical signals. Risks of atrial fibrillation ablation For some people, ablation restores a normal heart rhythm better than medications. It’s generally ...

A New Pacemaker Algorithm for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT) Electrophysiologic Characteristics of the Spontaneous Onset and ...

If you have AFib, treating it cuts your risk of having a stroke. But it can be costly, even if you have insurance. AFib doesn’t so much have types as it has durations. Doctors classify it by how ...

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 ...

Thus, a permanent pacemaker must be implanted to prevent symptoms of bradycardia. When atrial fibrillation is present with systolic heart failure, AV node ablation may be required for a ...

pacemaker implantation, or electrical cardioversion. Some people may need a combination of both. Medicare should cover most treatment and medication for A-fib, provided a doctor deems it medically ...
