Filter by:The purpose of this study is to show that Electrocardiogram Ambulatory Monitoring-guided strategy is superior to ElectroPhysiological Study on the rate of alive patients with an appropriate Pacemaker implantation/non-implantation, at 12 months after randomization, in patients with New Onset Persistent Left Bundle Branch Block after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and outcome of prophylactic pacemaker implantation in patients with right bundle-branch block undergoing trans-catheter aortic valve (TAVI) implantation in patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular ejection fraction.Participants will be randomized to: - Prophylactic pacemaker implantation prior TAVI - Conservative strategy
In this study we will evaluate the rate of reversal of complete heart block with aminophylline in atropine resistant patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI)
Detection of the incidence and types of arrhythmia and conduction block in COVID - 19 patients Detection and description of CMR patterns of myocardial injury in COVID-19 patients with arrhythmias.
Clinical, structural and mechanical features in patients with left bundle branch block.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the transcutaneous application of unmodulated high frequency alternating currents could produce a quickly conduction block of peripheral nerve.
Background: Disturbances of the heart's atrioventricular conduction - AV-block - may show by shortness of breath, fainting or sudden death. If AV-block is diagnosed in time pacemaker therapy may be lifesaving. AV-block in younger can be seen along with structural or ischemic heart disease, congenital heart disease (incl. congenital AV-block) storage disorders, specific muscle diseases, sarcoidosis, Borrelia infection or drug intoxication. AV-block in younger can also be seen in conditions, primarily localized to the AV-node without other cardiac disease at diagnosis. This form of AV-block is often hereditary and can be seen in families where relatives have another types of heart disease in form of fore example, cardiomyopathy, ion channel disease or sudden death. The different forms of presentation are due to the same gene mutation being expressed differently within the same family. Thus, early onset of AV-block (<50 years) may indicate hereditary AV-conduction disorder but it can also be the first manifestation of severe ion channel disease or cardiomyopathy. Denmark has annually over 50 individuals <50 years treated with pacemaker due to advanced AV-block. There have been no overall figures regarding the causes of advanced AV-block, and therefore no systematic approach to diagnosing this group of patients. Furthermore, the prevalence of individuals with a genetic cause of AV-block is unknown and presumably an often overlooked diagnosis among younger patients with advanced AV-blok. There are no data on disease progression after diagnosis, and therefore there is no evidence-based knowledge about how these patients should be followed after diagnosis. With modern gene technology, a range of new, yet unknown genes with potentially pathogenic mutations is likely to be identified. Identification of such genes, and the development of a strategy for systematic approach to diagnose younger patients with AV-block, will enable presymptomatic genetic screening of relatives and implementation of evidence-based, preventive treatment with pacemaker and/or medical treatment for heart failure based on a specific genetic predisposition for development of AV-block with or without heart failure. Hypotheses: In a significant proportion of younger patients with advanced AV-block the underlying cause is unknown. Objective: To investigate the prevalence and causes of advanced AV-block in younger patients in Denmark and describe the current diagnostics. Method: The study is a cross sectional study. The patients for this study are identified from Danish Pacemaker and ICD Register. The investigators will review medical records and obtain clinical information and test results (see detailed description). Perspectives: This study is the first part of a large study of AV-block in younger patients in Denmark. The overall goal, is to increase knowledge about the causes of and disease progression after the diagnosis of advanced AV-block in young patients which could lead to a significant improvement in the treatment of this patient group and may lead to a customized choice of pacemaker type in the future and perhaps additional medical treatment in this patient group. This could potentially lead to a reduction in both their morbidity mortality.
