Filter by:The purpose of this registry is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LBBA pacing/sensing in patients already implanted with the Tendril STS 2088 lead.
Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of closure strategies post venous access procedures. Hypothesis: We anticipate that the use of a venous closure device will decrease the time to hemostasis (TTH), time to ambulation (TTA) and time to discharge (TTD) compared to conventional methods of closure following venous access procedure.
The study will try to access the efficacy of atrial pacing, medication and radiofrequency ablation in treating patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and sinus node dysfunction; to identify the response to these treatments in patients with "functional" and organic sinus node dysfunction respectively; to explore the necessity of pacemaker implantation in patients with "functional" sinus node dysfunction. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will receive pacemaker implantation followed by trial pacing, medication and radiofrequency ablation of AF. Device data will be analyzed to answer the question. And after follow-up of 1 year, lower rate of pacemaker will be set as 40 bpm for patients without AF. The proportion of pacing and patients' tolerance will be analyzed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the implant procedure and feasibility of a new lead developed to pace and sense the left chambers of the heart.
1. Background - Pacemaker treatment gives asynchronous activation of the heart that often results in decreased heart function and clinical heart failure. New pacemaker types that stimulates both left and right ventricle ( biventricular pacemakers ) is introduced to the treatment of patients with heart failure, decreased left ventricular function and ECG signs with left bundle branch block. 2. Hypothesis - Ventricular pacing results in remodelling of the left ventricle and decreased left ventricular function. Biventricular pacing do not do this. Ventricular pacing results in heart failure and increased wall stress with decreased 6 minutes walk test and increased BNP in blood samples. This is not seen by biventricular pacing. 3. Materials and methods - 3 studies. All patients are examined by echocardiography 2-dimensional, M-mode, 3-dimensional and with tissue harmonic imaging. Study 1) Patients with AV-conduction disorder that needs pacemaker treatment are randomized to DDD-pacemaker or biventricular pacemaker. Study 2) Patients with sick sinus syndrome included in DANPACE are randomized to AAI- or DDD-pacemaker. Study 3 ) Acute study to examine the changes in patients AV-block before DDD-pacemaker implantation and after implantation.
The purpose of this study is to provide evidence that the Refined Ventricular Pacing Algorithm leads to clinically relevant reduction (at least 50% reduction) of the incidence of ventricular pacing.
