The case is reported of an athlete who, during an exercise test, had a complete atrioventricular block without symptoms of cardiac output failure. Heart rate, stroke index, cardiac index, and ...

After years of perfecting the technique in canines, the first AVJ ablation in humans was performed on April 9, 1981, using high-energy direct current shock (300–500 J) delivered over standard ...

Complete heart block means that there’s a complete separation of electrical activity between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Without prompt medical attention, it can be fatal. Your heart ...

At first glance, the P waves and QRS complexes do not seem to have any relationship, which raises the possibility of 3 o AV block. Since the QRS complexes do not occur regularly, however, that option ...

Transplacental transfer of anti-Ro antibodies is a well-known cause of conduction defects and permanent atrioventricular block in newborns. 1 In adults, conduction disturbances related to these ...

In the treatment of atrioventricular block, dual-chamber cardiac pacing is thought to confer a clinical benefit as compared with single-chamber ventricular pacing, but the supporting evidence is ...

Researchers completed the first-ever EXIT (Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment) to ventricular pacing procedure. The patient, a 36-week fetus with complete atrioventricular block and cardiac dysfunction, ...

20% of cases of autoimmune CHB are fatal and 64% of live births require a pacemaker 1.7% of pregnant women positive for anti-Ro or anti-La antibodies have a baby with autoimmune CHB, but the risk ...

NEW YORK, NY—High-grade atrioventricular (AV) block occurs within 1 month for roughly one in seven patients who undergo transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), according to new results from ...

The atrioventricular node (AV Node) is a bundle of conduction cells that regulate the communication of atrial electrical activity with ventricular electrical activity. The AV node has a long ...
