Leadless Pacemaker

Atrioventricular conduction disturbance is a common complication of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Moreover, the most common form of atrioventricular conduction disturbance is atrioventricular block. Until recently, cardiac pacing was considered to be the most reliable long-time management of atrioventricular block. However, cardiac pacemakers have several limitations and complications. When the first generation of leadless pacemakers was invented in the 1980s, it was multi-component. Nowadays, self-contained or single component leadless pacemakers have been developed and have become popular amongst cardiac electrophysiologists. In particular, in 2013, St. Jude Medical developed a novel design for a cardiac pacemaker called the Nanostim<sup>TM</sup> Leadless Pacemaker. In 2015, Medtronic released a smaller leadless pacemaker called the Micra<sup>TM</sup> Transcatheter Pacing System.<sup>1,2</sup> Although Nanostim<sup>TM </sup>and Micra<sup>TM </sup>represent state of the art technology; a few studies have documented some of their limitations.<sup>3-6</sup> More research is needed to confirm and solve these problems

Arteriovenous Access

The problem with limited venous access may occur in patients receiving long-term hemodialysis treatment with no possibility of arteriovenous access or in patients with cardiac implantable electronic device–related infection leading to the removal of cardiac implantable electronic device. We present a case report where both situations occur simultaneously. Using recent development in cardiac pacing—leadless cardiac pacemaker—we manage to overcome the vascular access problem. The described case emphasizes the necessity of multispecialty collaboration and gains of new pacing technology in patients who need placement of vascular access for hemodialysis and cardiac implantable electronic device where vascular access is scarce.

In the following review article, the principles and approaches of medical rehabilitation in patients with implanted pacemakers are discussed. It was shown that total benefit results from cooperation among medical, physical and psychological components of rehabilitation program and optimisation of the mode and parameters of cardiac pacing. Social adaptation of the patients with implantable pacemakers is of paramount importance and should be directed on avoidance of external electromagnetic fields and their influence on pacemaker functions, which in turn may be life-threatening for patient and the staff as well. The indications to diagnostic and treatment regimens including physiotherapeutic procedures should be clearly defined in order to avoid potential influence of electromagnetic interference on cardiac pacemaker. The well-structured medical rehabilitation programs need to be organised in order to improve quality of life and patients survival with regard to growing tendency of implantation of cardiac pacemakers.

Rare Association

Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that may lead to syncope and sudden death. Bradyarrhythmia such as atrioventricular conduction disturbance, a relatively rare complication associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, may also cause syncope and sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We report a 28-year old man who was diagnosed as a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presented with syncope and complete heart block. Subsequently, a permanent pacemaker was implanted to the patient.

Hypertrophied Myocardium

AbstractHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with an increased incidence of Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome and atrial fibrillation. However, a delta-like wide QRS can be observed in the hypertrophied myocardium. When considering the rarity of the paraseptal bypass tract (BT), the normal QRS axis suggests a higher possibility of HCM origin. Otherwise, there is no known electrocardiographic clue indicating a wide QRS differentiation between HCM and WPW syndrome. Moreover, the atriofascicular, nodofascicular/ventricular or fasciculoventricular BT should be differentiated. In this case, atrioventricular conduction system incidental injury revealed a wide QRS origin from the HCM, but this method should be avoided except in some selected cases.
