Atrioventricular node ablation and permanent ventricular pacemaker implantation without fluoroscopy: use of an electroanatomic navigation system.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Hyperventilation has been demonstrated to alter autonomic function. Sympathomimetic drugs (isoproterenol) and parasympatholytic drugs (atropine) may be needed to facilitate induction of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). The aim of this study was to test the clinical utility and mechanisms of hyperventila...

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The relationships between heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV) are not simple. Because both depend on the autonomic nervous system (ANS), they are not independent variables. Technically, the quantification of HRV is influenced by the duration of the cardiac cycles. The complexity of these relationships...
