The Role of Cardiac Pacing in Heart Block Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction

1983

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.

Poincaré surface profile. Novel non-invasive method to detect preferential ventricular response during atrial fibrillation

2007

The strategy of rate control during atrial fibrillation (AF) essentially deals with efforts to utilize and adjust the filtering properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node, allowing AF to continue and ensure that ventricular rate is controlled. In this work, a new tool based on the 3D Poincare plots is developed for the characterization of the ventricular response (VR) and the clinical evaluation of rate control therapies. Mechanisms underlying atrioventricular conduction during AF remain unclear. The role of the dual pathway AV nodal electrophysiology and the effects of the AV node modifications are still being an incognita. RR interval clusters exhibiting harmonic behaviour have been qua…
