This condition can be detected on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a brief period of irregular length with no electrical activity before either the sinoatrial node resumes normal pacing, or another pacemaker begins pacing. If a pacemaker other than the sinoatrial node is pacing the heart, this condition is known as an escape rhythm.
These items can be devices to be placed on top of the chest, with the rescuer's hands going over the device, and a display or audio feedback giving information on depth, force or rate, [61] or in a wearable format such as a glove. [62] Several published evaluations show that these devices can improve the performance of chest compressions. [63] [64]
Arnold Schwarzenegger has become more like his iconic Terminator character after having surgery last week to receive a pacemaker, the 76-year-old actor and former California governor announced ...
[18] [20] Since its first discovery, there have been many definitions of pacemaker syndrome, and the understanding of the cause of pacemaker syndrome is still under investigation. In a general sense, pacemaker syndrome can be defined as the symptoms associated with right ventricular pacing relieved with the return of A-V and V-V synchrony. [17]
The Wanted vocalist, 36, revealed on Instagram on Saturday, Dec. 21, that he had a pacemaker fitted after announcing weeks earlier that recent tests had found "issues" with his heart.
Patients have died not long after their circulation has returned. One study showed that those who had had an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and had achieved return of spontaneous circulation, 38% of those people had a cardiac re-arrest before arriving at the hospital with an average time of 3 minutes to re-arrest.

In the snap, Schwarzenegger, 76, can be seen relaxing in a chair, wearing his “pacemaker” — a clock with a “high voltage” sign attached — as he looks at the camera. “Thank you!
Wandering atrial pacemaker may be seen in young, healthy individuals as well as in the elderly and those with lung disease. [2] The cause of wandering atrial pacemaker is unclear. Increased tone from the vagus nerve may factor into the rhythm appearing in young, healthy individuals who exercise. The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic ...
