چکیده

FOR THE PAST two years, our researeh team has been engaged in the performauce of 50 dog experiments. We have studied many parameters necessary to developing a pacing device capable of synchronizing the electromechanical events of the atrium with the ventricle for the correction of complete heart block. As a result of these studies, the unit, now completely self contained and totally implantable, has been observed for performance at rest and after exercise, during normal and rapid atrial rates. The results will be briefly detailed in this paper. Studies' have indicated the importance of the atrial transport contributioni to cardiac output. and attest to the imnportaniee of a pacer capable of restoring the atria and ventricles to the preblock state. Our experimental mnethods have been detailed elsewhere.2

Is correction for metallic artefacts mandatory in cardiac SPECT/CT imaging in the presence of pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator leads?

Introduction: Metallic artifacts due to pacemaker/ implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads in CT images can produce artifactual uptake in cardiac SPECT/CT images. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the metallic artifacts due to pacemaker and ICD leads on myocardial SPECT/CT imaging. Methods: The study included 9 patients wh...
