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 ...

Multicenter randomized trial (n=200) assigned LBBP versus BiVP for CRT in LBBB with LVEF ≤35%, using time to death or HF hospitalization as primary endpoint. Event rates favored LBBP, reducing death ...

Estimates suggest that around three million Americans are living with cardiac pacemakers, according to the American Heart Association. Now, thanks to MountainStar Healthcare, a new kind of pacemaker – ...

A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device that controls the heartbeat. Our heartbeats are controlled by a highly efficient, biological electrical system that ensures our heart steadily pumps ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the heart's naturally irregular beat is set to be trialled in New Zealand heart patients this year. A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the ...

Four medical schools are partnering on a $31 million study evaluating a new method for pacing the heart in people with heart failure and conduction system disease, according to an Oct. 11 article on ...

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 ...

The cardiac pacemaker of the future could be powered by the heart itself, according to researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. During the AIP Publishing Horizons -- Energy Storage and Conversion ...
