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 ...
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 ...
A within-patient comparison of His-bundle pacing (HBP) and biventricular (BiV) pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) showed electromechanical and hemodynamic differences between them that ...
NEW ORLEANS -- Among patients with heart failure, conduction system pacing-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy was associated with improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ...
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 ...
Mechanisms rather than etiology have been used to create a new classification system for bradyarrhythmias in the 2013 ESC Guidelines on Cardiac Pacing and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy developed ...
Mr. Adrian Zurbuchen recently made world-wide headlines by proving that a cardiac pacemaker could be powered by the same mechanism that powers automatic mechanical wrist watches. The young PhD ...
The human heart has a natural pacemaker in the sinus node or the sinoatrial node, which is a group of cells that trigger electrical signals to stimulate the rhythmic contraction of the heart. In 1958, ...
