When the atrioventricular node is damaged, accessory pathways can perform primary atrioventricular conduction but may spontaneously degrade during childhood. After surgical atrial septal defect repair during infancy, an adolescent male presented with fatigue due to iatrogenic complete atrioventricular node block with a degrading antegrade accessory pathway resulting in symptomatic bradyarrhythmia.

Conduction System Pacing Following a Double Switch Operation for Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries.

The use of conduction system pacing (CSP) in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) is growing, however data remain limited. In patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries following the double switch operation, existing CSP tools and techniques require modification to allow for the anterior displacement of the atrioventricular node and proximal conduction system in addition to navigating the tortuous route of the atrial redirection. We report the successful use of CSP focusing on the technique of delivery tool modification to allow stability on the basal septum for deployment to the area of the distal His bundle and proximal left bundle branch.

We sought to characterize cellular composition across the cardiovascular system of the healthy Wistar rat, an important model in preclinical cardiovascular research. We performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) in 78 samples in 10 distinct regions, including the four chambers of the heart, ventricular septum, sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, aorta, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins, which produced 505,835 nuclei. We identified 26 distinct cell types and additional subtypes, with different cellular composition across cardiac regions and tissue-specific transcription for each cell type.

Background: Implantable loop recorders (ILRs) have been shown to significantly improve the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The incidence and characterization of bradyarrhythmias in this subset of patients is still unknown.
Methods: All consecutive patients who received ILRs, after an ESUS, between March 2015 and December 2022 in our Center were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed.

Department of Cardiology, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is frequently complicated by arrhythmias, plausibly leading to the increased risk of sudden cardiac death in this population. However, little is known about the association between CKD and third-degree atrioventricular block (3AVB) and need for permanent pacing.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between CKD and 3AVB.

A fraction of patients (approximately 10%) undergoing heart transplantation require permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation due to sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular block, occurring either shortly after surgery or later. The incidence of PPM implantation has declined to less than 5% with the introduction of bicaval anastomosis transplantation surgery. Pacing dependency during follow-up varies among recipients.
