Abstract

Patients with congenital heart disease are vulnerable to atrial tachyarrhythmias, especially after atrial surgeries. We evaluated the efficacy of atrial arrhythmia detection and antitachycardia pacing (ATP) using the Medtronic AT500 pacemaker in 28 patients with congenital heart disease (age 30 +/- 18 years). Of 15 patients with atrial arrhythmias, 14 had atrial tachycardia events that were appropriately detected. ATP was enabled for 167 treatable episodes, successfully converting 90 (54%). Rhythms classified as ventricular tachycardia were detected 127 times, yet most were actually atrial or sinus tachycardia with 1:1 atrioventricular conduction. Atrial tachycardias in congenital heart disease are amenable to ATP algorithms in the AT500 pacemaker.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
