Delayed cases of total atrioventricular block (AVB) or complete heart block can occur more than 2 days after TAVI, two new studies affirm, highlighting the utility of extended ECG monitoring after ...

In an era where hospitals are discharging patients earlier and earlier after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, researchers are warning physicians to be cautious about the development of late ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures taken after the first pig-to-human heart transplant found significantly different electrical conduction characteristics compared to those seen in native pig hearts ...

You are reviewing an ECG you arranged for a 56-year-old man with newly diagnosed hypertension. The trace is normal but the computerised report notes ‘first-degree heart block’. Looking at the ...

Several ECG markers of atrial or AV nodal mechanical/substrate/electrical conduction abnormalities have been related to both incident AF and stroke. P terminal force ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Treatment with the ACE inhibitor lisinopril may lower the development of conduction-system disease in patients with hypertension and at least one cardiac risk factor, new research ...

2:1 atrioventricular block is a form of second-degree AV nodal block and occurs when every other P wave is not conducted through the AV node to get to the ventricles, and thus every other P wave is ...

Not all atrial flutters demonstrate the typical "sawtooth" pattern. During the times of lesser conduction on this ECG, the flutter waves are more apparent. The atrial rate is organized at a rate of ...
