Filter by:This study is divided into two parts: - The first part evaluates the acute effect of non-pharmacological heart rate change on central hemodynamic parameters noninvasively in sick sinus syndrome patients with a permanent cardiac pacemaker - The second part evaluates the acute effects of atenolol, nebivolol and ivabradine on central hemodynamic parameters noninvasively in sick sinus syndrome patients with a permanent cardiac pacemaker at different pacing rate levels
This study is intended to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of Ensite-NavX zero-fluoroscopic navigation system to conventional fluoroscopic X-ray approach as to performing single-chamber pacemaker implantation.
This study is intended to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of Ensite-NavX zero-fluoroscopic navigation system to conventional fluoroscopic X-ray approach as to performing double-chamber pacemaker implantation.
Medtronic is sponsoring a quality improvement study called Brady MX. It is hypothesized that lack of awareness of treatment and diagnostics pathways result in lower number of referrals to implanters of IPG.
Different approaches to cardio-neuroablation (CNA) to treat neurally mediated syncope, sinus node dysfunction, and functional atrioventricular block have been published. Investigators have developed a more limited and specific approach of CNA, called cardio-neuromodulation (CardNM). This treatment is based on a tailored vagolysis of the sinoatrial node through partial ablation of the anterior right ganglionated plexus (ARGP); it is also based on an innovative anatomic strategy. The feasibility of CardNM has already been tested in our center in a limited first study in humans (CardNMH1), with a favorable outcome for the patients involved. The results of CardNMH1 have been submitted for publication. The purpose of this second study of CardNM in humans (CardNMH2) is to collect more procedural and clinical data in well-defined patient groups.
The number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implanted each year has grown rapidly over the past two decades. CIED infections, defined as infections involving the generator implant site (pocket) and/or intravascular leads, have become increasingly prevalent, with the rate of growth in infections outpacing that of CIED procedures. The odds of both short term and long term mortality are at least doubled in patients who suffer CIED infections, and long term survival is particularly poor in women. Optimal strategies to prevent CIED infections in high-risk patients are largely unproven. However, recent observational studies of an antibiotic-coated envelope implanted at the time of CIED procedure have shown that this strategy is associated with a low incidence of CIED infections. Other interventions to prevent CIED infections, including the use of antibiotic irrigant used to wash the pocket during implantation and postoperative oral antibiotics, are commonly used but not supported by rigorous controlled studies. The Specific Aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the use of the antibacterial envelope alone is noninferior to a strategy using the antibacterial envelope and intraoperative antibacterial irrigant and postoperative oral antibiotics for the reduction of cardiac implantable device infections in patients with ≥2 risk factors for infection.
Observational study on long PR interval using the SafeR mode in bradycardia patients.
The study is designed as a multi-center, international, prospective, parallel, randomized, single blinded trial comparing the time to first primary endpoint event (Sustained Paroxysmal AF/Persistent AF or stroke/TIA) occurrence in a follow up period of 3 years, between Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) ON versus OFF, on top of a DDD pacing in patients with pacemaker or ICD indication who require dual-chamber pacing due to sinus node disease (SND), with or without atrioventricular (AV) block.
Optimal pacing strategy for patients with SND is still unknown, although several publications in the past years demonstrated a deleterious effect of ventricular pacing. However, pacing has always been apical in these trials, and to which extent this absence of pacing is beneficial for patients with very long PR intervals is still to be found. The aim of this study is to compare ventricular septal pacing to no pacing in patients with SND.
This study aims to determine whether increasing atrial base rate pacing to achieve at least 75-80% atrial pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome undergoing the implementation of dual-chamber pacemaker can be useful to prevent or decrease the atrial fibrillation during 6 months follow-up duration.
