Periprocedural Considerations During Implantation of ICD In A Patient With Dextrocardia

In this case report we present a patient with dextrocardia, who undergone implantation of dual chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Here we aimed to underline several specific considerations which must be noted when one considers to implant an ICD in a patient with dextrocardia

Isorhythmic Dissociation or "Pseudo-Bygeminy" of Depleted Pacemaker

We present an unusual electrocardiogram obtained from a patient with critically depleted pacemaker. (PACE 2010; 33:e24-e25)

Correlation of the Tei index with left ventricular dilatation and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction

The Tei index is an echocardiographic index of combined systolic and diastolic function, calculated as isovolumetric relaxation time plus isovolumetric contraction time divided by ejection time. The aim of this study was to define the correlation of the Tei index with left ventricular dilatation and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)

The Relationship between Intracardiac Atrial Sensing Values and Atrial High-rate Episodes in Patients With Permanent Pacemakers Implanted due to Sick Sinus Syndrome

Aim: An increase in fibrosis and collagen in the atrium and sinus node tissues constitutes the basic pathophysiology of sick sinus syndrome (SSS). We aimed to investigate the relationship between P-wave sensing values and atrial high rate episodes (AHRE) in patients with dual-chamber (DDDR) pacemakers implanted due to SSS
