Acta Cardiologica
N Picart, P Courtoy

Abstract

Description of five cases of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in patients with a cardiac pacemaker and broad view of the mechanism leading to these rhythm disturbances. Attention is focused on the fact that these rhythm disturbances, which are most often provoked by abnormalities of pacing, may be sometimes completely unrelated.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
