Abstract:
The atrial lead is essential for atrial or dual-chamber pacing, requiring stable fixation to ensure reliable electrical thresholds and sensing. Despite advancements in lead designs, atrial screw-in leads still face a dislodgement rate of 0%-3.3%. This study introduces a novel technique for atrial lead fixation using real-time injury current monitoring, offering a promising method to minimize lead dislodgement and enhance clinical outcomes.

1.3K
Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

1.8K
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...
