Description
Nithin Kumar Konanur Srinivasa and co-authors check whether a single-chamber heart defibrillator that can also listen to the atria catches more silent rhythm trouble, in this 2025 study. Atrial fibrillation often hides in defibrillator patients and raises risk. Dual-chamber devices hear it but implant harder. The study compared 128 patients across three device types, one using a floating atrial sensor.
The sensor group found fibrillation in forty-two percent of patients, including nine brand-new silent cases that changed treatment. The plain single-chamber group found only patients already known to have the rhythm. The under-skin device found one new case. Ventricular event handling was equal across groups. The authors say atrial sensing upgrades single-chamber devices meaningfully for rhythm watch.
