The use of implantable devices to treat arrhythmias started with the implantable pacemaker back in the late 1950s. The risks and costs of implantation limited the indications for the procedure initially. A similar pattern was seen with the initial implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in the early 1980s. In the late 1990s, technology of both these devices focused on the management of… View more

Author(s): Norman K Hollenberg Added: 3 years ago
Chocolate and cocoa are gifts of the Americas to the rest of mankind.

Its use was reserved for royalty, and its function involved sexual interest and sexual performance—the king had a substantial harem. In the past several hundred years, a wide variety of medical… View more

Author(s): Pragnesh Parikh , KL Venkatachalam Added: 3 years ago
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common pathologic clinical arrhythmia lasting more than 30 seconds, and its incidence and prevalence continue to increase. It has been estimated that 5.9 % of patients aged >65 years suffer from AF.1 In the Rotterdam study, 17.8 % of patients over 85 had AF.2 The lifetime risk for developing AF in both men and women above age 40 is one in four.3 This… View more
