Pacing threshold varies during the 24 hours in children (Fig. 2). This variability is low, not exceeding 0.2 V (0.03 ± 0.01 V), so it is unlikely to affect pacemaker programming. There were no ...

FAILURE of the myocardium to respond to an electronic pacemaker with implanted electrodes, because the threshold to electric stimulation is abnormally high, is known to occur occasionally. 1, 2 In all ...

A novel leadless cardiac pacemaker demonstrates stable performance and reassuring safety over 1 year after implantation, according to results from a small study published in the April 21, 2015, issue ...

In the version of the Research Highlight initially published online and in print, the text “29.3% had an adequate 6-month pacing capture threshold” should have ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Novel miniature pacemakers were safely implanted in neonates and infants requiring pacing. The pacemakers ...

Flecainide acetate 50mg, 100mg+, 150mg+; tabs; +scored. Patients with pacemakers: Pacing threshold should be determined prior to instituting therapy with flecainide, again after 1 week of ...

Generally, pacemakers improve quality of life for individuals who have a condition causing bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate. However, because there is an electrical device implanted near your heart ...

The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves after ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

Thirty-one consecutive patients (18 boys, 61%) who underwent the implantation of a Medtronic Kappa 901 pacemaker were enrolled. Mean age was 7.5 ± 6.2 years (median 6.5, range 1 day to 24 years).
