Despite the low long‐term incidence of high‐degree atrioventricular (AV) block and the known
negative effects of ventricular pacing, programming of the AAI mode in patients with sinus …

Aims Optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) requires the gathering of cardiac
functional information. An accurate timing of the phases of the cardiac cycle is key in the …

Aims To examine the performance of AAIsafeR2, a new pacing mode to minimize the cumulative
proportion of ventricular pacing in patients who do not need regular ventricular support. …

Objective : The physiological mechanisms involved in cardio-respiratory responses to sleep
apnea events are not yet fully elucidated. A model-based approach is proposed to analyse …

Heart sounds, measured via cardiac micro-acceleration (CMA), carry valuable information
about the mechanical and hemodynamic function of the heart. The aim of the present study is …

Previous studies have shown that cardiac microacceleration signals, recorded either
cutaneously, or embedded into the tip of an endocardial pacing lead, provide meaningful …

PAGE, E., et al.: Comparison of the Cardiopulmonary Response to Exercise in Recipients of
Dual Sensor DDDR Pacemakers Versus a Healthy Control Group. The authors previously …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the therapy of choice for selected patients
suffering from drug-refractory congestive heart failure and presenting an interventricular …

Measuring cardiac hemodynamics subcutaneously offers a novel and minimally-invasive
means of monitoring mechanical heart performance. Four accelerometer-based hemodynamic …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the upper airway narrows or collapses due to
the loss of upper airway muscle activation at sleep onset. This study investigated the …
