MINERVA Trial Presented at Heart Rhythm Meeting Shows Medtronic Advanced Pacing Features Reduce the Progression of Persistent AF by 58 Percent While Reducing AF-Related Hospital Visits That Lead to ...

Pacemakers identify atrial fibrillation and enable initiation of anticoagulation to prevent strokes, according to new research. "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and ...

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 ...

The human heart is a highly complex pump made of muscle, complete with its own electric power system, supplying the energy and oxygen it needs to function. The heart’s pumping action is regulated by ...

THURSDAY, May 5, 2016 -- People with heart pacemakers and sleep apnea are at much greater risk for a dangerous heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, a new study suggests. With sleep apnea, ...

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 ...

Cardiology, well into the age of leadless pacemakers, could be headed for an age of leadless pacemaker systems in which various pacing functions are achieved by multiple implants that "talk" to each ...

Background A routine sports evaluation identified constant alternation between a junctional and idioventricular rhythm in a 9-year-old child. During exercise testing, electrography demonstrated that ...

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 ...
