Cardiac pacing devices have been widely prescribed to diagnose bradycardia (slow or missing stimulation of the complete ventricle) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy since the invention of ...

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 ...

Your heart has an internal pacemaker called the sinus node. It's a group of cells, located on top of your heart, that sends electrical signals into the heart and controls your heartbeat. Sometimes, ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...

Generally, pacemakers improve quality of life for individuals who have a condition causing bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate. However, because there is an electrical device implanted near your heart ...

A pacemaker is a small electronic device that helps keep the heart beating regularly. It can represent a life-changing treatment for heart conditions such as arrhythmias. It is generally not too ...

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 ...

The FDA approved a new, tiny pacemaker from Medtronic that does not require the wiring of separate electrodes between the implant and the heart. Less than one-tenth the size of traditional pacemakers ...

A pacemaker can help your heart maintain a consistent rhythm. The procedure to insert a pacemaker typically involves a doctor making an incision in the skin that creates a “pocket” where the pacemaker ...

Beebe Healthcare has become the first hospital in Delaware to offer the AVEIR® DR Dual Chamber Leadless Pacemaker, a newly ...

Background: Patients over the age of 75 represent more than half the recipients of permanent pacemakers. It is not known if they have a different risk of complications than younger patients. Methods: ...
