Implantable Defibrillators Configured for Hybrid Therapy of Persistent and Permanent Atrial Fibrillation: Initial Clinical Experience with a Novel Lead System∗
Rao, H.B., Saksena, S.
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, Springer US, vol. 13, no. 1, pp. 79-86

Abstract: Aim: Hybrid therapy strategies have combined antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) with pacemakers, atrio-ventricular defibrillators (AV ICD) or atrial ablation individually. The feasibility combining AAD with dual site RA pacing (DAP) in an AV ICD has not been...

Impact of “hybrid therapy” on long-term rhythm control and arrhythmia related hospitalizations in patients with drug-refractory persistent and permanent atrial fibrillation
Rao, B.H., Saksena, S.
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, Springer US, 20.03.2007, vol. 18, no. 2, pp. 127-136

Abstract: Recently, a “hybrid therapy” strategy has been used for successful rhythm control in persistent and permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The impact of this strategy on arrhythmia recurrences and subsequent AF related hospitalizations are unkn...

Interactions of antiarrhythmic drugs with implantable defibrillator therapy for atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias
Krol, R.B., Saksena, S. (et al.)
Current Cardiology Reports, Current Medicine, vol. 1, no. 4, pp. 282-288

Abstract: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have proven highly successful in the treatment of recurrent ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. Despite their high efficacy in terminating arrhythmias, concomitant therapy with antiarrhythmic drugs in IC...

Dual Site Right Atrial Pacing can Improve the Impact of Standard Dual Chamber Pacing on Atrial and Ventricular Mechanical Function in Patients with Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: Further Observations from the Dual Site Atrial Pacing for Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation Trial
Prakash, A., Saksena, S. (et al.)
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, Springer US, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 177-187

Abstract: Background: The effects of atrial pacing mode on atrial and ventricular function in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and bradycardia have not been evaluated. We evaluated atrial and ventricular function during randomization to support pacing (S...
