Balance athletic goals with arrhythmia risk: match the device model and sensor to the sport, and use stress testing to set detection zones and avoid inappropriate therapy.

iData Research: Global Cardiac Rhythm Management market to hit $36B by 2032. Leadless pacing and pulsed field ablation lead the industry.

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

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

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 ...

Heart problems are nothing new. Humans have been fascinated by electrocardiography since the era of Hippocrates (via St. Luke's Hospital Cardiology Department). With each passing century, medicine's ...

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 ...

Reduced cardiac efficiency caused by suboptimal synchronization of the heart's normal contraction might contribute to the development of or exacerbate heart failure. Conceptually and in practice ...

Currently under review at the FDA, Abbott’s miniaturized, leadless pacemaker has aced a clinical study by showing it could speed up the beat of a patient’s heart once its rhythm falls out of sync. The ...
