Temperature dependent pulse generator dysfunction

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE

Abstract

Malfunction of a lithium-powered R-wave inhibited unipolar pulse generator (CPI Model 0505) necessitated removal 15 months after implantation. Examination of the pulse generator in a water bath revealed abnormal function at temperatures above 31.5 degrees C and normal function at temperatures below 31.5 degrees C. CPI suggested that the failure was caused by the 10 kHz timing crystal in the generator.

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.
