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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

For patients with transvenous pacemaker leads, transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) can be performed safely with a low risk for periprocedural complications, according to a new ...
