Cardiac pacing from the apex of the right ventricle has been shown to result in left ventricular dysfunction, atrial fibrillation and increased mortality. To counter this, one of the strategies developed, is to avoid ventricular pacing when not necessary, using programmable algorithms to minimize ventricular...

Ambulatory ECG (AECG) telemetry is typically used to evaluate symptoms such as syncope, dizziness, chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath, which may correlate with intermittent cardiac arrhythmias. Additionally, AECG is used to evaluate patient response to initiation, revision, or discontinuation of arrhythmic drug therapy...

Atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF) account for ~ 10% of all strokes and 50% of cardioembolic strokes. Stroke associated with AF carries a poor prognosis as more than 50% of the survivors remain with a severe deficit, and recurrence may be as high as 12%...
