Strategies May Cut Pacing Needs With Navitor TAVR

PHOENIX — The Navitor transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR, TAVI) device was associated with a high pacemaker implantation rate in its pivotal study, but an analysis showed ways to bring that rate down. The 30-day new permanent pacemaker implantation rate was 19.0% in the high and extreme surgical risk population studied, Ibrahim Sultan, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center,…

Leadless Dual-Chamber Pacemaker Clears Performance Hurdles - Cinefilmshd

Cardiology, well into the age of leadless pacemakers, could be headed for an age of leadless pacemaker systems in which various pacing functions are achieved by multiple implants that “talk” to each other. Even now, a leadless two-part pacemaker system has shown it can safely achieve atrioventricular (AV) synchrony in patients with standard indications for a dual-chamber device, at least over the…

Atrial Flutter – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Ongoing care

Basics Description Atrial flutter (A. flutter) is a cardiac arrhythmia resulting in a (usually) narrow QRS rhythm, often tachycardia with an atrial rate of 250–350 beats per minute: “Saw-toothed” P-waves are classic. Ventricular rate is dependent upon AV node conduction (see ... Atrial Flutter – Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Ongoing care
