Pacing technology: Advances in pacing threshold management
Lau, C. & Sui, C. (2010). Journal of Zhejiang University Science, 11(8), 634-638.
Subclinical atrial fibrillation and the risk of stroke
Healey, J. S., Connolly, S. J., Gold, M. R., Israel, C. W., Van Gelder, I. C., Capucci, A., … Hohnloser, S. H. (2012). New England Journal of Medicine, 366, 120-129.
Conclusions: Subclinical atrial tachyarrhythmias, without clinical atrial fibrillation, occurred frequently in patients with pacemakers and were associated with a significantly increased risk of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism. (Funded by St. Jude Medical; ASSERT ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00256152)
Sweeney, M. O., Hellkamp, A. S., Ellenbogen, K. A., Greenspon, A. J., Freedman, R. A., Lee, K. L. & Lamas, G. A. (2003). Circulation, 107, 2932-2037.
Conclusions: Ventricular desynchronization imposed by ventricular pacing even when AV synchrony is preserved increases the risk of HF hospitalization and AF in SND with normal baseline QRSd.
Lazarus, A. (2007). Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 30(1), S2-S12.
Conclusions: This broad clinical application of a new monitoring system strongly supports its capability to improve the care of cardiac device recipients, enhance their safety, and optimize the allocation of health resources.
Crossley, G. H., Boyle, A., Vitense, H., Chang, Y., Mead, R. H., & CONNECT Investigators. (2011). Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 57(10), 1181-1189.
Conclusions: Wireless remote monitoring with automatic clinician alerts as compared with standard in-office follow-up significantly reduced the time to a clinical decision in response to clinical events and was associated with a significant reduction in mean length of CV hospital stay. (Clinical Evaluation of Remote Notification to Reduce Time to Clinical Decision [CONNECT]; NCT00402246)
Permanent pacemaker implantation technique: Part I and II
Rajappan, K. (2009). Heart, 95(3), 259-264, 334-342.
Landolina, M., Perego, G. B., Lunati, M., Curnis, A., Guenzati, G., Vicentini, A., ... Marzegalli, M. (2012). Circulation, 125(24), 2985-2992.
Conclusions: Remote monitoring reduces emergency department/urgent in-office visits and, in general, total healthcare use in patients with ICD or defibrillators for resynchronization therapy. Compared with standard follow-up through in-office visits and audible ICD alerts, remote monitoring results in increased efficiency for healthcare providers and improved quality of care for patients.
