“…ANTYARYTMICZNEJ Z WSZCZEPIENIEM STYMULATORA U wybranych pacjentów z zespołem chorego węzła zatokowego i szybką czynnością komór podczas napadów AF, wymagających kontroli rytmu serca, wszczepienie stymulatora nie tylko pozwala na optymalizację kontroli częstości rytmu komór, ale również może ułatwić kontrolę rytmu serca [711,712]. Co więcej, jeżeli farmakoterapia antyarytmiczna prowadzi do dysfunkcji węzła zatokowego i bradykardii, to stymulacja umożliwia zwiększenie dawki leku antyarytmicznego.…”

“…Many studies have actually shown the effectiveness of physiologic pacing therapy in the past. The DANISH trial 1) proved the beneficial effect of physiologic pacing. The trial showed that atrial pacing was associated with a significantly higher survival, less atrial fibrillation and heart failure than ventricular pacing.…”

The patient was a 67-year-old female diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. She had chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) with bradycardia and low left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 40%). She was admitted for congestive heart failure. She remained New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III due to AF bradycardia. Pacemaker implantation was necessary for treatment of heart failure and administration of dose intensive -blockers. As she had normal His-Purkinje activation, we examined the optimal pacing sites. Hemodynamics of His-bundle pacing and biventricular pacing were compared. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) was significantly lower on Hisbundle pacing than right ventricular (RV) apical pacing and biventricular pacing (13 mmHg, 19 mmHg, and 19 mmHg, respectively) with an almost equal cardiac index. Based on the examination we implanted a permanent pacemaker for Direct His-bundle pacing (DHBP). After the DHBP implantation, the LVEF immediately improved from 40% to 55%, and BNP level decreased from 422 pg/ml to 42 pg/ml. The number of premature ventricular complex (PVC) was decreased, and non sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) disappeared. Pacing threshold for His-bundle pacing has remained at the same level. His-bundle pacing has been maintained during 27 months and her long-term DHBP can improve cardiac function and the NYHA functional class. (J Arrhythmia 2006; 22: 245-250)

“…Furthermore, both atrial fibrillation and chronic atrial fibrillation were significantly reduced in the AAI group, as were thromboembolic events and heart failure. Atrioventricular block occurred in four patients in the atrial group (0.6% annual risk) (47). Therefore, based on the first prospective trial, it seems that AAI pacing is superior to VVI pacing in sick sinus syndrome.…”

More than 500,000 new medical articles are published every year and available time to keep updated is scarcer every day. Nowadays, the task of selecting useful, consistent, and relevant information for clinicians is a priority in many major medical journals. This review has the aim of gathering the results of the most important findings in clinical medicine in the last few years. It is focused on results from randomized clinical trials and well-designed observational research. Findings were included preferentially if they showed solid results, and we avoided as much as possible including only preliminary data, or results that included only non-clinical outcomes.Some of the most relevant findings reported here include the significant benefit of statins in patients with coronary artery disease even with mean cholesterol level. It also provides a substantial review of the most significant trials assessing the effectiveness of IIb/IIIa receptor blockers. In gastroenterology many advances have been made in the H. pylori eradication, and the finding that the cure of H. pylori infection may be followed by gastroesophageal reflux disease. Some new antivirals have shown encouraging results in patients with chronic hepatitis. In the infectious disease arena, the late breaking trials in anti-retroviral disease are discussed, as well as the new trends regarding antibiotic resistance. This review approaches also the role of leukotriene modifiers in the treatment of asthma and discusses the benefit of using methylprednisolone in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome, among many other advances in internal medicine.
