NEW ORLEANS -- A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, ...

A 67-year-old man with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction had recurrent ventricular fibrillation that required insertion of temporary pacemaker. When a permanent pacemaker was inserted stable ...

MANCHESTER, UK — There have been many recent advances in cardiac rhythm management, notably the use of leadless pacemakers and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICDs), experts ...

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is associated with fewer lead-related complications than a transvenous ICD; however, the subcutaneous ICD cannot provide bradycardia and ...

Patients who received a leadless pacemaker had similar rates of acute complications and survival at 30 days as those who received a transvenous VVI pacemaker, according to data presented at the ...

Pacing threshold varies during the 24 hours in children (Fig. 2). This variability is low, not exceeding 0.2 V (0.03 ± 0.01 V), so it is unlikely to affect pacemaker programming. There were no ...

When transvenous pacing is unsuitable, leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation can be used during the evidence generation period for dual-chamber pacing or right atrial pacing alone for ...

A Cleveland Clinic-led study shows that leadless pacemakers have fewer mid-term and short-term complications than traditional transvenous pacemakers. The study was recently published in Heart Rhythm. ...
