Importance Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with a
pacemaker may benefit from a higher, more physiologic backup heart rate than the nominal …

Permanent pacing from the right ventricular apex can reduce quality of life and increase the
risk of heart failure and death. This review summarizes the milestones in the evolution of …

Abstract Background and Aims Accelerated atrial pacing offers potential benefits for patients
with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) …

The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is significantly higher in patients with pacemakers than
in the general population, which could be due to patient characteristics and the diagnostic …

Pacing from the right atrial appendage (RAA) prolongs the P wave duration and can induce
interatrial and especially left-sided atrio-ventricular dyssynchrony. Pacing from Bachmann's …

Cardiac pacing aims to improve our patients' well-being by adapting heart rate to their
physiological needs and may in some instances be lifesaving by avoiding asystole …

Aims Conventional right atrial appendage (RAA) pacing is associated with increased atrial
activation time resulting in higher incidences of atrial tachyarrhythmia. Optimal pacing sites …

Background It is unknown whether atrial fibrillation (AF) burden varies by pacing site in
patients with reactive atrial antitachycardia pacing (rATP). We aimed to compare AF burden …

Background A lack of standard Bachmann bundle (BB) capture criteria has affected the
clinical impact of Bachmann bundle area pacing (BBAP) in patients with interatrial block …

While advances like subcutaneous leads and leadless pacemakers have become important
treatment options in select patients, transvenous leads remain the standard means to deliver …
