Bradycardia is a condition characterized by a slower than normal heart rate. While a normal adult heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, bradycardia is defined when heart rate falls below 60 ...

Sinus rhythm was maintained in 83.7% in the ABL group and 21.1% in the PM group at the last procedure (P < 0.001; Fig. 4). In the PM group, three patients (5.3%) progressed to persistent AF and ...

Furthermore, the proportion of time in sinus rhythm whilst on assigned antiarrhythmia therapy did not effect these outcomes in the 1,316 patients for whom electrocardiograms were available.

Atrial tachycardia and other ectopic atrial rhythms occur when a site outside of the sinus node, but within the atria, creates action potentials faster than the sinus node. This ectopic focus ...

More patients in the PM group were on AADs (PM 40.4%, ABL 4.7%, P < 0.001) while sinus rhythm maintenance was remarkably higher in the ABL group at the end of follow-up (83.7% vs 21.1% in PM group ...
