Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) constitute a major breakthrough in the management of heart rhythm disorders. These devices largely include bradycardia pacemakers, biventricular ...

When Danish footballer Christian Eriksen collapsed during a friendly match recently, many people would have been surprised to ...

A biventricular pacemaker is a device that can help the heart beat more efficiently when a person has heart failure or an irregular heartbeat. When a person has heart failure or an irregular heartbeat ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is associated with better outcomes than biventricular (BiV) pacing among patients with an LVEF of 50% or less requiring cardiac resynchronization ...

Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

In a new publication from Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications; Yu Zhang, Wen-Long Dai, Can-Can Lin, Qiao-Yuan Li and Cheng-Jun Guo from Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, ...

Electrophysiologists are asking for better communication between their field and the interventional cardiology community, particularly with operators who perform percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid ...

The first-ever pacemaker to include Managed Ventricular Pacing (MVP®), the EnRhythm™ Pacing System promotes intrinsic conduction and is clinically proven to significantly reduce unnecessary right ...

Defibrillators and pacemakers help the heart maintain a regular rhythm. Defibrillators deliver a shock if the heart goes into arrhythmia. Pacemakers use electrical impulses to keep the heart from ...

The cardiac pacemaker harmlessly dissolves over the course of 35 days. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) Temporary cardiac pacemakers provide essential pacing for patients with short-term heart ...

Defibrillators use electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rate, especially in cases of life threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, while pacemakers use low-energy electrical pulses to ...

An electromagnetic therapy for depression shouldn't damage a person's pre-existing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), multiple experiments indicated. There was a low risk of ICD damage or ...
