The primary outcome was ventricular arrhythmias, the secondary outcomes were bradycardia and atrial fibrillation (AF). Results: Our analysis included 7 RCTs with 1,004 patients (mean age: 64.37, male: ...

The technology is designed to help people keep closer tabs on their heart health, and is used to help identify atrial fibrillation (Afib) a serious medical condition that is a leading cause of stroke.

Unsuccessful atrial tachyarrhythmia suppression by drug(s) with bradycardia. Pacing may then permit higher doses of drugs when not previously tolerated due to bradycardia; higher drugs doses may ...

In most prehospital emergency medical service systems around the United States, there are two options for direct treatment of symptomatic bradycardia available to paramedics, transcutaneous pacing ...

Pacemaker implantation for tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome was required as well as ablation for atrial flutter, and the patient underwent a total of four DC cardioversions. Sleep studies showed ...

However, beware the potential pitfalls: Implantable cardiac devices (such as permanent pacemakers and defibrillators) offering continuous heart rhythm recording have led to recognition of atrial ...

Many medications can thin the blood or interact with the heart. For this reason, people who have atrial fibrillation (AFib) should speak with a medical professional before using certain drugs ...

World-leading scientist, BHF Professor Barbara Casadei, answers our questions on what the future might bring for people with atrial fibrillation. What’s most promising in atrial fibrillation science ...

This review synthesizes the available evidence and applies rigorous principles of aging science. After contextualizing the burden of comorbidities and geriatric syndromes in people with atrial ...
