SAN FRANCISCO -- Better indicators of high-grade atrioventricular (AV) conduction system abnormalities following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) could be gleaned from an intraprocedural ...
Some consider 2:1 AV block to be type II block, claiming that the PR interval doesn't lengthen. What they don't realize is that determining whether the PR interval lengthens requires at least 2 ...
Background: In patients requiring permanent pacing, preservation of intrinsic ventricular activation is preferred whenever possible. The Search AV+ (SAV+) algorithm in Medtronic EnPulse™ dual-chamber ...
NEW YORK, NY—High-grade atrioventricular (AV) block occurs within 1 month for roughly one in seven patients who undergo transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), according to new results from ...
The atrioventricular node (AV Node) is a bundle of conduction cells that regulate the communication of atrial electrical activity with ventricular electrical activity. The AV node has a long ...
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is one of the most commonly encountered arrhythmias worldwide, and catheter ablation remains its treatment of choice. Ablation techniques, ...
This is a classic example of AV nodal blocks that can occur with inferior wall myocardial infarctions. There are two mechanisms behind this phenomenon. An inferior wall MI results in vagal stimulation ...
Physiologic pacing of the His-Purkinje conduction system is feasible in patients who require a permanent pacemaker following TAVR and this alternative pacing method did not interfere with ejection ...
Researchers have identified bi-allelic variants in the POPDC2 gene as the cause of a rare inherited cardiac syndrome characterized by sinus node dysfunction, atrioventricular (AV) conduction defects ...
