Pacing strategies to prevent atrial fibrillation

Cardiology Clinics
G J Fahy, B L Wilkoff

Abstract

The role of cardiac pacing in preventing atrial fibrillation in patients at risk for this arrhythmia is a relatively new concept. This article discusses the influence of the pacing mode, rate, atrial pacing site, and novel pacing algorithms on the prevention of atrial fibrillation.

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. 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.
