Endurity Pacemaker | Abbott
Sep 1, 2021 · There are no randomized controlled data available to compare clinical outcomes between leadless pacing and single-chamber transvenous pacing. Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is the most consistent and powerful predictor of the need for pacing after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). ...read more
Pacemakers - How They Work | NHLBI, NIH
single chamber pacemakers have one lead; dual chamber pacemakers have two leads; biventricular have three leads. Some people need a special pacemaker called a cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) pacemaker. This helps to coordinate the pumping action of the heart muscle. People who need this type of pacemaker have usually have heart ...read more
First Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker Surpasses Safety and
A pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is needed when something disrupts this process and causes an abnormal heartbeat. An abnormal heartbeat is called an arrhythmia. Here are some of the most common causes of arrhythmias: Sick sinus syndrome In sick sinus syndrome, the SA node doesn't work as it should. ...read more
Single-chamber VVI mode | Cardiocases
Jan 1, 2009 · Single-chamber pacemakers. There are essentially only two forms of single-chamber pacing: AAI and VVI, with optional rate modulation (AAIR and VVIR); the VVI/VVIR form of single-chamber pacing is more common. AAI/AAIR pacing . AAI/AAIR pacing is indicated for patients who have isolated sinus node dysfunction and have no ...read more
Types of Pacemakers | Stanford Health Care
A single-chamber pacemaker operates in VVI mode when only one lead is positioned in the ventricle; the VVI mode can also be programmed in a dual-chamber pacemaker. The VVI mode provides single-chamber inhibited pacing at the programmed pacing rate, unless inhibited by a sensed event. Sensing applies only to the ventricle. ...read more
Pacemaker implantation - Why it's performed - NHS
Jun 10, 2019 · Leadless pacemakers provide only single-chamber ventricular pacing and lack defibrillation capacity. Leadless pacemakers may be suitable for patients with permanent atrial fibrillation with bradycardia or bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome or those who infrequently require pacing. ...read more
Role of Permanent Pacing to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation
Jan 18, 2005 · Observational studies have suggested that the incidence of AF is between 0% and 3% per year in patients with dual-chamber pacemakers as compared with an incidence of 6% to 15% per year in patients with single-chamber ventricular pacemakers. These studies carry the numerous biases associated with nonrandomized and ...read more
Pacing Systems (Pacemakers) | Medtronic
Overview Depending on your heart condition, your doctor will prescribe either a single or dual chamber pacemaker. This refers to the number of heart chambers that need to be paced or sensed. For single chamber pacing, either the right atrium (upper chamber) or the right ventricle (lower chamber) is paced. Only one pacing lead is used. ...read more
Choosing pacemakers appropriately - PMC - National Center for
Apr 13, 2021 · If intrinsic or native atrial activity is present with a single chamber ventricular-only pacemaker, it occurs at a rate that differs from the ventricular rate since it is dissociated from the QRS complex. Frequently, ventricular demand pacing is used in association with atrial fibrillation. There may be episodic pacing in patients who have a ventricular ...read more
