Abstract

Atrial arrhythmias and heart failure frequently coexist. A number of device-based therapies are available for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of these arrhythmias. This chapter reviews the clinical impact of atrial and ventricular pacing on atrial arrhythmias, the diagnosis of atrial arrhythmias via device-based data retrieval, the value of alternate site atrial pacing algorithms for prevention of atrial fibrillation, and the treatment of atrial arrhythmias with device-based pacing and defibrillation.
