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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Washington, DC - Despite the vast improvement in mortality for those implanted with a device, the ICD population of the Multicenter Autonomic Defibrillator Implantation Trial II (MADIT II) had a ...

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, ...

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 ...

MRI examinations can be performed safely in patients with non-MR compatible cardiac devices, including those who are pacemaker-dependent or have abandoned leads, according to a study published in ...

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 ...
