Comparison of Cardiac Function Between Left Bundle Branch Pacing and Right Ventricular Outflow Tract...

Slow Arrhythmia; Left Bundle Branch Pacing; Cardiac Function

Permanent pacemaker implantation is a common method for bradycardia and cardiac conduction dysfunction. With the development of physiological pacing, the optimal location of ventricular pacing site is still improving. Traditional ventricular pacing site at the apex of right ventricle or septum of right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT), causing iatrogenic left bundle branch block and asynchronous ventricular contraction, leading to cardiac remodeling, pacemaker-mediated cardiomyopathy and congestive cardiac failure. Long-term chronic ventricular pacing can lead to changes in endocardial myocytes and myofibrils and promote fibrosis. Thus, the alternative pacing site, HIS bundle pacing, has been sought later. The safety and feasibility of permanent HIS bundle pacing have been confirmed in patients with various cardiac diseases. However, the shortcomings of high and unstable threshold, long implantation time, low R-wave amplitude and HIS bundle damage during implantation limit the application of HIS pacing especially in patients with infra-Hisian block. Left bundle branch pacing(LBBP) is a new technique evolved from HIS bundle pacing. In 2017, Huang et al[9]reported that LBBP was successfully paced using 3830 leads(Medronic Inc. USA). The advantages of narrow QRS duration, low threshold, high R wave amplitude, easy fixation and correction of left bundle branch block made LBBP more widely used in clinic.However, whether left bundle branch pacing is superior to traditional right ventricular outflow tract septal pacing in cardial function is still lack of sufficient evidence. The purpose of this study is aim to using Brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), echocardiography and speckle-tracking echocardiagraphy, six minutes walk test and quality of life to compare the changes of cardiac function within 1 month between LBBP and RVOP in pacemaker-dependent patients.

Antiarrythmic Drugs - Long-term Follow-up in the Modern Era

Cardiac Dysrhythmia

Antiarrhythmic drugs are associated with significant side effect profiles. Amiodarone has primarily class III action and whilst it has unrivalled efficacy in management of certain arrhythmias, it has a formidable side effect profile. Complications of continued therapy include, thyroiditis, hepatitis, cholestasis, increased skin sensitivity and pulmonary fibrosis. Current prescribing guidelines recommend frequent blood tests to monitor kidney, liver and thyroid function, in addition to frequent pulmonary function tests. Sotalol is a betablocker which possesses class III action in high doses and may predispose to QT prolongation Other class I agents such as flecainide and propafenone can be associated with sudden cardiac death in certain populations, and may predispose to other arrhythmias. This study will examine the incidence of discontinuation of AAD therapy and adverse events.

Reveal In-Office Implants

ArrhythmiasCardiac

The purpose of this study is to gather evidence about the safety and feasibility of performing the implant procedure for the Reveal Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) in an office or clinic setting rather than the traditional hospital operating room, cardiac catheterization or electrophysiology (EP) laboratory setting.

Air Pollution and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

Arrythmias

Community based studies have shown increased cardiovascular mortality associated with acute exposures to particulate air pollution. Electrocardiographic changes have also been reported in animals exposed to particles in controlled conditions. We have hypothesized that cardiovascular patients may experience life-threatening arrhythmias associated with particulate air pollution episodes. Implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) devices continuously monitor the heart rhythm, and on detecting arrhythmias can initiate interventions. These devices provide a passive, continuous monitor of cardiac arrhythmias. We are assessing the association between community exposures to air pollution measured by ambient monitors and these cardiac arrhythmias detected by implanted cardioverter defibrillator devices.

Beta Blockers Plus Intravenous Flecainide for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: a Real-world Chios...

Atrial FibrillationArrhythmias1 more

BETAFLEC-CHIOS, is a single-center registry that was initiated in the "Skylitseion" General Hospital of Chios in January 2020 and is ongoing. The inclusion criterion is IV flecainide administration for recent-onset AF lasting less than 48 hours. Oral b-blockers are co-administered in all patients. The main exclusion criteria are severe structural or ischemic heart disease and conduction system dysfunction. Continuous monitoring is applied during and after administration of IV flecainide. If no conversion to sinus rhythm is achieved at 2 hours after flecainide infusion, the patient is recorded as "unsuccessful conversion attempt".
