In patients with high-grade atrioventricular block (AVB), a standard dual-chamber pacemaker can restore A-V synchrony and ensure an adequate ventricular pacing rate. In this setting, however, the ...
Heart failure patients with a condition called "heart block" derive significant benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy, according to the results of the Block HF clinical trial. Heart failure ...
Right ventricular pacing restores an adequate heart rate in patients with atrioventricular block, but high percentages of right ventricular apical pacing may promote left ventricular systolic ...
