No specific set of criteria has been developed for diagnosis of pacemaker syndrome.

In the lab, pacemaker interrogation plays a crucial role in determining if the pacemaker mode had any contribution to symptoms. [5 ...
During Heinrich events within the last 100,000 years, the Northern Hemisphere Hadley cell strengthened while the Southern Hemisphere Hadley cell weakened. Variation in insolation during the mid- to late-Holocene resulted in a southward migration of the Northern Hemisphere Hadley cell's ascending and descending branches closer to their present ...
Histopathology of giant-cell myocarditis, with multinucleated giant cells. H&E stain. Idiopathic giant-cell myocarditis (IGCM) is a cardiovascular disease of the muscle of the heart . The condition is rare; [2] however, it is often fatal and there is no proven cure because of the unknown nature of the disorder.
A pacemaker, also known as an artificial cardiac pacemaker, is an implanted medical device that generates electrical pulses delivered by electrodes to one or more of the chambers of the heart. Each pulse causes the targeted chamber(s) to contract and pump blood, [3] thus regulating the function of the electrical conduction system of the heart.
Intensive blood pressure control for adults with hypertension and high cardiovascular risk can reduce the risk of mild cognitive impairment or dementia in the long term, according to a new study.
Cardiomyopathy is a group of primary diseases of the heart muscle. [1] Early on there may be few or no symptoms. [1] As the disease worsens, shortness of breath, feeling tired, and swelling of the legs may occur, due to the onset of heart failure. [1]
An artificial cardiac pacemaker (or artificial pacemaker, so as not to be confused with the natural cardiac pacemaker) or just pacemaker is an implanted medical device that generates electrical impulses delivered by electrodes to the chambers of the heart either the upper atria, or lower ventricles to cause the targeted chambers to contract and ...
