Bethesda, MD - Transvenous pacing leads can be guided to just above the right atrium and through a puncture into the pericardial space for positioning at the left ventricular apex, according to a ...

One of the largest and longest follow-ups of patients implanted with the subcutaneous-lead implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD), now marketed as the EMBLEM S-ICD (Boston Scientific), paints ...

This procedure can be used for right ventricular pacing alone for bradyarrhythmias because it works well and there are no serious concerns about its safety in this condition. Dual-chamber pacing or ...

In a typical population of patients requiring implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy without pacing, mostly for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD; ...

NEW ORLEANS -- A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, ...

BOSTON -- A leadless pacemaker reliably communicated with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to deliver anti-tachycardia (ATP) and bradycardia pacing, the MODULAR ATP study ...

Traditional implanted pacemakers and defibrillators use thin wires called "leads" to send out electricity that keeps the heart beating properly, but these wires can also be associated with problems, ...

When transvenous pacing is unsuitable, leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation can be used during the evidence generation period for dual-chamber pacing or right atrial pacing alone for ...
