The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...

The diagnosis is sinus tachycardia, right ventricular pacemaker, P-wave synchronous ventricular pacing (A-sensed V-paced), pseudo second-degree AV block due to failure of atrial sensing. There is a ...

The cardiac pacemaker harmlessly dissolves over the course of 35 days. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) Temporary cardiac pacemakers provide essential pacing for patients with short-term heart ...

Formal systems engineering methods have been adopted by many industries including medical device manufacturing. In particular, the approach is used in pacemaker development. According to a paper from ...

SUDDEN death in persons with artificial pacemakers is a continuing and disturbing problem. Causes include pacemaker-catheter displacement, electric-component failure, broken wires and rising pacing ...
