Heart rate and blood pressure are tightly regulated by autonomic control to effect adequate blood flow as needed. This regulatory process breaks down when the vasovagal reflex is activated. Profound, but brief, circulatory collapse manifests as bradycardia (cardioinhibitory response) and/or hypotension (vasodepressor response) and/or altered cerebral autoregulation, resulting in transient loss of… View more

A Brief History of Cardiac Pacing Electrical stimulation of the heart was used sporadically throughout the 19th century, generating a set of case reports, largely related to attempts to resuscitate people.1 The contemporary field of cardiac pacing emerged in the 20th century (Figure 1). The first use of pacemakers in a modern sense was in the late 1920s when Australian anaesthetist Mark Lidwell… View more

Patients implanted with a pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) require regular follow-ups to control the proper function of the implanted device. These technical checks have traditionally been performed manually in-office using a dedicated device programmer. In 1971, transtelephonic monitoring was introduced to remotely follow-up basic parameters (such as battery status… View more
