MINERVA Trial Presented at Heart Rhythm Meeting Shows Medtronic Advanced Pacing Features Reduce the Progression of Persistent AF by 58 Percent While Reducing AF-Related Hospital Visits That Lead to ...

PHILADELPHIA — Accelerometer-based atrial sensing with a novel, enhanced, automated algorithm in patients with atrioventricular block and a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle ...

The human heart is a highly complex pump made of muscle, complete with its own electric power system, supplying the energy and oxygen it needs to function. The heart’s pumping action is regulated by ...

Cardiology, well into the age of leadless pacemakers, could be headed for an age of leadless pacemaker systems in which various pacing functions are achieved by multiple implants that "talk" to each ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker met 3-month safety and efficacy performance goals. The device avoids ...

Cardiac Rhythm Specialists for the University of Pennsylvania Health System have documented the effectiveness of a new technique to cure atrial fibrillation (A-Fib). The technique targets and isolates ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...

If you have atrial fibrillation (AFib), you may not need any treatment, or you may be able to manage it with medication. But this condition is almost always progressive and often needs lifelong ...

Background A routine sports evaluation identified constant alternation between a junctional and idioventricular rhythm in a 9-year-old child. During exercise testing, electrography demonstrated that ...

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 ...
