Runner who sets the pace in a race for other competitors.
Portuguese
marcapasso Catalan
marcapàs 
An implanted electronic device that takes over the function of the natural cardiac pacemaker.
Portuguese
nó sinusal A specialized bit of heart tissue that controls the heartbeat.
1
Our findings provide detailed insights into the unique molecular make-up of the cardiac pacemaker.
2
However, the presence of a cardiac pacemaker is usually regarded as a contraindication for MRI due to safety reasons.
3
We report a case with not cervical but dorsal vertebral trauma and persistent paroxysmal AVB requiring cardiac pacemaker implantation.
4
In this study we tested the hypothesis that Cl,ir channels may play an important role in cardiac pacemaker activity.
5
In patients with syncope without warning in whom injury is a consideration, a correctly chosen cardiac pacemaker may be warranted.
1
The autopsy revealed involvement of the sinoatrial node of the heart by lymphoma cells.
2
The sinoatrial node (SAN) is the dominant pacemaker of the heart.
3
Also, coronary angiography demonstrated a sinoatrial node artery originating from the posterolateral branch of the right coronary artery.
4
Fluctuations in heart rate above 0.03 Hz reflect autonomic modulation of sinoatrial node activity.
5
The homeodomain transcription factor Shox2 is essential for the development and proper function of the native cardiac pacemaker, the sinoatrial node.
1
The results were used to refine the Noble-DiFrancesco-Denyer model of spontaneous pacemaker activity of the SA node.
2
PMID: 1283636 The results were used to refine the Noble-DiFrancesco-Denyer model of spontaneous pacemaker activity of the SA node.
1
The pacemaker was going a good pace and she came very easy.
2
What is clear is that hospital charges for pacemaker implantations have climbed.
3
Competitor St Jude Medical Inc is also working on a leadless pacemaker.
4
Twelve lead electrocardiograms were analyzed to diagnose interatrial block before pacemaker implantation.
5
A diagnosis of pacemaker lead endocarditis due to Achromobacter xylosoxidans was made.
6
In addition, this pacemaker is susceptible to the effects of extraneous vibration.
7
This network is thought to constitute the pacemaker that generates circadian rhythmicity.
8
They also installed a pacemaker, in case my heart gets lazy again.
9
Twenty-nine patients had a pacemaker and 29 had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
10
The Nanostim was the first leadless pacemaker that sat inside the heart.
11
But if your coronary arteries clog up, a pacemaker won't save you.
12
The SCN acts as the central pacemaker for circadian rhythms in mammals.
13
In the event, they could not manage even to beat his pacemaker.
14
This clock-like mechanism is controlled by a central pacemaker in the brain.
15
We report a single centre series of pacemaker lead extraction using conventional methods.
16
The presence of a pacemaker may also affect management of unrelated medical problems.
