Genetic variants in calsequestrin-2 (
Introduction It is hypothesized that pacing the right ventricular (RV) septum associated with less deleterious outcomes than RV apical pacing. Our aim was to validate fluoroscopic and electrocardiography (ECG) criteria for describing pacemaker implantable cardioverter defibrillator “septal” lead position against proposed gold standard: cardiac computed tomography (CT). Methods Using conventional criteria, we intended place nonapical leads on interventricular septum. Lead positions were later...
ABSTRACT Background In contrast to abundant research on the various acute mental effects of COVID‐19, long‐term influences pandemic are still underexplored in China owing paucity assessment tools. The Pandemic Disengagement Syndrome Scale (PDSS) assesses people's social disengagement as a lasting psychological consequence Western countries during post‐COVID‐19 era. However, its generalizability across cultures is untested. Objectives present studies aimed validate Chinese PDSS and compare...
Insight into type 6 long-QT syndrome (LQT6), stemming from mutations in the KCNE2-encoded voltage-gated channel β-subunit, is limited. We sought to further characterize its clinical phenotype.Individuals with reported pathogenic KCNE2 identified during arrhythmia evaluation were collected inherited clinics and Rochester (LQTS) registry. Previously LQT6 cases through a search of MEDLINE database. Clinical features assessed, while evaluated for genotype-phenotype segregation classified...
Introduction We aimed to assess the utility of cardiac computed tomography (CT) in evaluation right atrial (RA) and ventricular (RV) pacemaker implantable defibrillator lead perforation. Methods Images from a 320‐slice electrocardiogram‐gated CT scanner were retrospectively independently analyzed by two reviewers for position, pericardial effusion, Perforation results correlated with pacing sensing, impedance, threshold measurements. Results A total 52 patients had RV leads 35 RA leads. Five...
Introduction Direct His bundle capture may negate ventricular electrical dyssynchrony induced by right (RV) apical pacing. We sought to evaluate if direct pacing is possible with conventional pacemaker lead implantation at various sites in the RV. Methods Consecutive patients underwent RV using standard implantable active fixation leads a random order outflow tract, middle RV, and apex stimulation threshold increasing voltages of 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 volts (V). At each location, QRS width...
Introduction There have been rare case reports of damage to adjacent coronary arteries by screw‐in pacemaker and implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) leads. Our aim was assess the proximity ICD leads major anatomy using cardiac computed tomography (CT). Methods Cardiac CT images were retrospectively analyzed spatial relationship device lead tips anatomy. Results Fifty‐two right ventricular (RV) (17 apical, 35 nonapical) atrial (RA) assessed. Leads on RV antero‐septal junction (20 52)...
Abstract Temporary pacing is often used as an acute treatment of bradyarrhythmias and suppression tachyarrhythmias. In patients with cardiogenic shock, loss atrioventricular synchrony may worsen cardiovascular haemodynamics. We present a series where temporary right atrial was for both
A right ventricular (RV) pacing lead was implanted from the subclavian vein in a patient with mirror image dextrocardia. The horizontally flipped 40 …
In past studies, peripheral blood D-dimer and platelets have shown predictive value in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it remains unclear whether pretreatment can serve as biomarkers for predicting efficacy prognosis stage IV NSCLC patients without driver gene mutations receiving programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody. Therefore, this study aims to investigate correlation between baseline platelet levels population, aiding determining significance biomarkers.
