Effects of complete heart block on myocardial function, morphology, and energy metabolism in the rat (2007)

Gizurarson, S., Lorentzon, M., Råmunddal, T., Waagstein, F., Bergfeldt, L., Omerovic, E.

Aims Severe sustained bradycardia may cause acute and possibly chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). The aim of this study was to investigate acute and chronic effects of complete heart block (CHB)...

Comparative assessment of right, left, and biventricular pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (2005)

Brignole, M., Gammage, M., Puggioni, E., Alboni, P., Raviele, A., Sutton, R., ...

Aims Left ventricular (LV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing are potentially superior to right ventricular (RV) apical pacing in patients undergoing atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation and pacing...

Comparative assessment of right, left, and biventricular pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (2004)

Brignole, M., Gammage, M., Puggioni, E., Alboni, P., Raviele, A., Sutton, R., ...

Aims Left ventricular (LV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing are potentially superior to right ventricular (RV) apical pacing in patients undergoing atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation and pacing...

Assessment of accessory pathway and atrial refractoriness by transoesophageal and intracardiac atrial stimulation: An analysis of methodological agreement (1999)

Nanthakumar, K., Bergfeldt, L., Darpö, B.

Aims Measurement of the refractory properties of asymptomatic overt accessory pathways is performed to assess the risk for significant arrhythmias. We hypothesized that a transoesophageal atrial...

Aerobic group training improves exercise capacity and heart rate variability in elderly patients with a recent coronary event. A randomized controlled study (1999)

Ståhle, A., Nordlander, R., Bergfeldt, L.

Aims Reduced heart rate variability is associated with an unfavourable prognosis in patients with ischaemic heart disease. Whether physical training can modify this risk factor is not definitely...

Left ventricular function after repeated episodes of ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation assessed by transoesophageal echocardiography (1997)

Runsiö, M., Bergfeldt, L., Brodin, L. Å., Ribeiro, A., Samuelsson, S., Rosenqvist, M.

Background Investigators studying the effects of cardioverter-defibrillators on left ventricular systolic function have given only minor attention to the diastolic effects. Objectives The purpose of...

Cardiac oufflow of endothelin, neuropeptide Y and noradrenaline in relation to hyperaemia in coronary sinus flow following electrical conversion of induced ventricular fibrillation in man (1995)

RUNSIÖ, M., ROSENQVIST, M., BERGFELDT, L., ÖWALL, A., LUNDBERG, J. M., FRANCO-CERECEDA, A.

The implanted cardioverter defibrillator represents an alternative therapy for patients with drug-refractory nialignant ventricular arrhythmios. Implantation and testing of the device requires that...

Spectral turbulence analysis of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram for predicting inducible sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in patients with and without bundle branch block (1995)

ENGLUND, A., ANDERSSON, M., BERGFELDT, L.

Spectral turbulence analysis of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram is a new method for identifying patients prone to sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. In contrast to analysis in the...

Complete heart block in HLA B27 associated disease. Electrophysiological and clinical characteristics.

Bergfeldt, L, Vallin, H, Edhag, O

A genetic predisposition associated with HLA B27 for developing complete heart block with or without clinical or radiological signs of associated rheumatic disease has recently been found. In this...

Pacemaker dependence in patients with bifascicular block during acute anterior myocardial infarction.

Edhag, O, Bergfeldt, L, Edvardsson, N, Holmberg, S, Rosenqvist, M, Vallin, H

Eleven patients with bifascicular block complicating anteroseptal acute myocardial infarction were studied to determine the effect of prophylactic permanent pacing; eight of them also had transient...

Disopyramide induced second and third degree atrioventricular block in patients with bifascicular block. An acute stress test to predict atrioventricular block progression.

Bergfeldt, L, Rosenqvist, M, Vallin, H, Edhag, O

Syncopal attacks in patients with bifascicular block may be due to both ventricular tachyarrhythmias and intermittent atrioventricular block in addition to non-cardiac causes and lead to...

Prospective study of left ventricular function after radiofrequency ablation of atrioventricular junction in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Edner, M., Caidahl, K., Bergfeldt, L., Darpö, B., Edvardsson, N., Rosenqvist, M.

BACKGROUND--In patients with drug resistant incessant supraventricular tachycardia, radiofrequency induced ablation of the atrioventricular junction and pacemaker implantation have hitherto been...

Disopyramide stress test: a sensitive and specific tool for predicting impending high degree atrioventricular block in patients with bifascicular block.

Englund, A., Bergfeldt, L., Rosenqvist, M.
