Types of Pacing

Biventricular Pacemaker
Biventricular Pacemaker

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular pacing, uses a special kind of pacemaker-- a biventricular pacemaker-- that is designed to help the ventricles contract more normally.

Dual-Chamber Pacemaker
Dual-Chamber Pacemaker

The difference between single and dual chamber pacemakers is essentially in the fact that a single chamber pacemaker has only one lead implanted (typically in the right ventricle) and a dual chamber has two, one in the atrium and one in the RV.

Dual-Chamber Pacemakers
Dual-Chamber Pacemakers

dual chamber pacemaker A pacemaker with pacing electrodes in both the right atrium and the right ventricle, which helps maintain the physiological relationship between atrial and ventricular contraction, and allows the paced heart to follow the increase in sinus rate which occurs during exercise.

Dual-Site Atrial Pacing
Dual-Site Atrial Pacing

Dual-site atrial pacing better than HRA by echo and Doppler The DAPPAF investigators examined the echocardiographic and Doppler effects of HRA, dual-site atrial pacing, and single site pacing, all in the DDDR pacing mode, on atrial and ventricular function in 81 of the study's patients.

For an Ordinary Driving Licence

Driving . The patient must inform the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) that they have a pacemaker. For an ordinary driving licence. The patient can start driving again after one week as long as: There are no symptoms such as dizziness or fainting which may affect driving. The patient attends regular check-ups in the pacemaker clinic.

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators

The pacemaker feature would stimulate the heart to beat if the heart rate is detected to be too slow. What is an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)? An ICD is a battery-powered device placed under the skin that keeps track of your heart rate.

Single-Chamber Pacemaker
Single-Chamber Pacemaker

A single chamber pacemaker in the Right atrium among patients with sick sinus syndrome with intact AV nodal function in my opinion is a legit indication, although rarely practiced in US.

Unipolar Pacemakers
Unipolar Pacemakers

Unipolar systems (ventricular) are used in cases where atrioventricular (AV) conduction is likely to return. When there is normal AV conduction and a sinoatrial (SA) disorder then the pacing wire is situated in the right atrium. Dual-chamber pacemakers. Have pacing electrodes in both the right atrium and the right ventricle.
