Medtronic Canada ULC, a subsidiary of Medtronic plc announced that it has received a Health Canada licence for Micra AV, the world's smallest pacemaker with atrioventricular (AV) synchrony. Micra AV ...
When high doses of AV blocking drugs are not successful to lower ventricular rates in the setting of atrial fibrillation, AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials ...
A first-degree atrioventricular node block occurs when conduction through the AV node is slowed, thereby delaying the time it takes for the action potential to travel from the sinoatrial node through ...
