The Role of Cardiac Pacing in Heart Block Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction
The organization of the Coronary Care Unit and the use of electrocardiographic monitoring have allowed a re-evaluation of the incidence of the atrioventricular conduction disturbances in acute myocardial infarction.
Non-Invasive Assessment of LV Systolic Function and Diastolic Filling at Rest and During Exercise in Coronary Heart Disease
In the assessment of the main determinants of cardiac function the study of the systolic phase and diastolic filling appear to be of paramount importance[1–3].
Hemodynamic Effects of Ventricular Pacing
Fixed rate ventricular pacing is used in most cases of implanted pacemakers. It does not usually create considerable hemodynamic problems, as the heart, by its adaptation mechanism, is capable of varying its pump performance to meet the metabolic needs[1,3].
