First clinical results with a new temperature-controlled rate-responsive pacemaker. Comparison of Activitrax and Nova MR pacemakers with VVI/AAI pacing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In contrast to healthy volunteers, regional differences of cardiac autonomic innervation have been described through the use of C11-hydroxyephedrine positron emission tomography (HED-PET) in the left ventricles of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The goal of the present study was to correlate HED-PET im...
