Complete atrial screw lead penetration and contralateral pneumothorax post-pacemaker implantation.

Unlabelled: There are some reports of atrial screw-in lead perforation, but the entire lead body is rarely exposed outside the right atrium at an early stage of the procedure. A man in his 80s had undergone catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and had recurrent AF and tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome with 8.8 s of sinus arrest, which caused presyncope.

Introduction/objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) could present with slow ventricular-response; bradycardia could facilitate the emergence of AF. The conviction that one "does not succumb" from bradycardia as an escape rhythm will emerge unless one sustains a fatal injury following syncope is in stark difference with ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VA), which may promptly cause cardiac arrest. However, this is not always the case, as a life-threatening situation may emerge during the bradycardic episode, i.

Background/aim: Differentiating multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) from adenovirus infection (AI) can be challenging due to similar clinical and laboratory findings. This study aimed to identify distinguishing characteristics and develop a scoring system to facilitate accurate diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive review of medical records was undertaken for 108 MIS-C patients and 259 patients with confirmed AI.
Dysautonomia and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: A Critical Analysis of Dysautonomia: How to Diagnose and Treat.

A significant number of physicians are unclear of the vast clinical manifestations of dysautonomia and imbalance of the autonomic nervous system, specifically the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. The major obstacle has been an inability to determine the mechanism of action as well as multisystem dysfunction and a lack of clear-cut testing. Dysautonomia, a pathophysiological malfunction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in our bodies, can present as altered clinical functions of heart rate (tachycardia/bradycardia), altered breathing patterns, blood pressure (hypertension/hypotension), sweating, digestion, syncope, etc.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of catheter ablation (CA) versus pacemaker (PM) implantation for treating tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
- Sixty-eight patients were randomly assigned to receive either CA or PM, with outcomes focused on emergency visits or hospitalizations related to cardiovascular issues over a 2-year period.
- Results showed no significant differences in emergency visits or hospitalizations between the two groups, but the CA group had a lower recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation and a better overall maintenance of sinus rhythm, suggesting it may be a better initial treatment choice.
