For the past two decades, catheter ablation stole most of the excitement in electrophysiology. Cardiac pacing was seen as necessary but boring. His-bundle pacing earned only modest attention. But at ...

In 2012, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died of post-surgery complications at the age of 82 following what should have been a routine heart surgery. Armstrong had undergone bypass ...

EBR Systems said today that a new Medicare National Coverage Determination (NCD) will evaluate its leadless endocardial ...

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released updated guidelines for cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), which emphasize patient-centered care and shared ...

Cardiac rhythm management is undergoing a significant shift. For decades, cardiac resynchronisation therapy has helped restore synchrony in patients with heart failure and electrical conduction ...

Cardiac pacemakers are battery-dependent, where the pacing leads are prone to introduce valve damage and infection. In addition, complete pacemaker retrieval is necessary for battery replacement.

Study to evaluate whether a new approach to pacing the heart can improve the lives of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who have limited treatment options today ...

NEW ORLEANS -- The Heart Rhythm Society issued the first U.S. guidelines to address use of conductive system pacing with the intent to prevent or mitigate heart failure. Conduction system pacing, ...

When a heart patient with an implanted pacemakerundergoes electrocardiogram testing,the cardiologist must be able to detect thepresence and effects of the pacemaker (seesidebar, “When the heart’s ...

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