INFLUENCE OF PERMANENT PACING OF THE ATRIA FROM UPPER ANTERIOR AREA OF INTERCARDIAC SEPTA (AREA OF BAKHMAN’S FASCICLES) ON THE PART OF AMOTIVATIONAL VENTRICLE STIMULATION.

This research includes 74 patients with syndrome of the sinus node asthenia. The application of permanent bilocular pacing was indicated for these patients. An atrial electrode was located in the right atrial auricle in 37 patients and it was in the area of Bakhman’s fascicles in other 37 patients.

[ASSESSMENT OF EFFICACY OF TEMPORARY EPICARDIAL BIVENTRICULAR RESYNCHRONIZATION PACING AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY].

The temporary pacing is provided as a key principle of maintenance and correction of hemodynamics after weaning the patient from cardiopulmonary bypass. There are conventional algorithms of temporary pacing, but the substantiation of electrode fixation areas is variable. The authors experimentally investigated the efficacy of temporary epicardial pacing in DDD and DDDBV using 18 laboratory animals after cardiac surgery with application of cardiopulmonary bypass.

[Characteristics of coronary artery involvement and probability of appropriate discharges of cardioverter-defibrillator implanted for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death].

Purpose: To assess characteristics of involvement of coronary vascular bed in patients with ischemic heart disease and cardioverter defibrillator (CD) implanted for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) with and without history of appropriate implantable (I) CD therapies.

Material And Methods: We examined 64 survivors of myocardial infarction (MI) (60 men, 4 women) with CD implanted for primary prevention of SCD. Mean duration of follow up after CD implantation was 19.
