Last week, Abbott began the commercial launch of its new leadless pacemaker, which it believes is a historic development in the world of cardiac rhythm devices. Aveir DR is a better option than ...

Objectives: The CAPTURE study evaluated the accuracy of automated atrial and right ventricular (RV) threshold algorithms. Background: Modern pacemakers include many added features designed to improve ...

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, ...

A pacemaker is an electric medical device that’s generally about the size of a matchbox. A surgeon implants it under your skin to help manage irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias. Pacemakers can ...

Though a Northwestern-developed quarter-size dissolvable pacemaker worked well in pre-clinical animal studies, cardiac surgeons asked if it was possible to make the device smaller. To reduce the size ...

A pacemaker may be useful for atrial fibrillation (AFib) involving a slow heart rate or other heart conduction disorders. However, doctors may recommend lifestyle changes to manage AFib before a ...

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 CAPTURE study investigated the accuracy, threshold variability, and applicability of a device that includes both an atrial and RV threshold measurement algorithms. In addition, the longevity ...
