    Abstract Severe hypertension sometimes improves with treatment of bradycardia but this phenomenon is under-reported. Here, an elderly gentleman with complete heart block and a hypertensive emergency was refractory to medical therapies and blood pressure only improved following pacemaker implantation. We discuss the possible mechanisms relating to heart rate and artificial pacing.

    Abstract Background: Leadless pacemaker therapy is associated with a significant reduction in lead-related complication rate compared to conventional transvenous single chamber pacemaker therapy. However, a significant complication rate of 1.2% was observed in vascular access due to the use of large delivery femoral sheath (27Fr). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of real-time ultrasound guidance and Z suture technique in reducing total and major vascular complications in leadless pacemaker therapy.
    Method: In this study, we performed a retrospective and prospective analysis of all adverse events associated with leadless pacemaker (Micra) implantation by two operators at a single tertiary center from December 2016 to December 2018. To mitigate the risk of vascular complications, all patients underwent real-time ultrasound-guided venipuncture for vascular access, as well as the application of a Z-suture technique for hemostasis at the end of the procedure. Data were collected on implant indications, implant procedure details, complications, and follow-up information.
    Results: In this study, 45 patients with an age range of 24 to 94 years (mean 76 ± 14 years) were recruited, with 21 (46.6%) being female. The pacing indications for the patients included atrial fibrillation (24, 53.3%), vascular (7, 15.5%), infection (9, 20%), cognitive/frailty (3, 6.6%), and occupational (2, 4.4%). The implant procedures were performed under general anesthesia in 6 (13.3%) of the cases, and under local anesthesia and sedation in 39 (86.6%) of the cases. A single deployment was achieved in 43 (95.5%) of the patients, while 2 deployments were required in 2 (4.4%) of the patients. Notably, no vascular or major complications were reported in our cohort of patients.
    Conclusions: The results of this observational study indicate that incorporating real-time ultrasound guidance during venipuncture and the use of a Z-suture technique significantly reduce the occurrence of both total and major vascular complications associated with the implantation of leadless pacemaker. However, more robust and larger studies are required in order to confirm these results and implications for clinical practice.

    Abstract Since December 2019, the coronovirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in more than 2,160,000 positive cases and more than 145,000 deaths until April 18, 2020. The pressure to the health services worldwide has been unprecedented. The redeployment of staff and resources to treat more efficiently COVID-19 cases along with the need to reduce disease transmission has affected the field of electrophysiology among many others. Amendments to clinical pathways are obligatory in this perspective to continue to provide the necessary health services to the people who need them, although at the same time, infection control and prevention are not compromised by inadvertent disease transmission or unnecessary use of resources. We aim to provide a guide of the logistic aspects of electrophysiology procedures derived from our tertiary cardiac center during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract We present the case of a 63-year-old female patient who presented to the pacemaker clinic for a scheduled interrogation of her leadless pacemaker. The device interrogation was suggestive of intermittent under-sensing with failure to pace. Connecting the electrocardiogram lead to the pacing system analyzer raised the suspicion of intermittent loss of telemetry data.
