Cardiac rhythm management is undergoing a significant shift. For decades, cardiac resynchronisation therapy has helped restore synchrony in patients with heart failure and electrical conduction ...

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 ...

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released updated guidelines for cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), which emphasize patient-centered care and shared ...

Study to evaluate whether a new approach to pacing the heart can improve the lives of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who have limited treatment options today ...

NEW ORLEANS -- The Heart Rhythm Society issued the first U.S. guidelines to address use of conductive system pacing with the intent to prevent or mitigate heart failure. Conduction system pacing, ...

Cardiac pacemakers are battery-dependent, where the pacing leads are prone to introduce valve damage and infection. In addition, complete pacemaker retrieval is necessary for battery replacement.

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 – ...

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) constitute a major breakthrough in the management of heart rhythm disorders. These devices largely include bradycardia pacemakers, biventricular ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is widely used to improve cardiac pump function and prolong life in patients with heart failure, but 30–50% do not respond to treatment Appropriate selection of ...

The two-year, ACGME-accredited Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing Fellowship is sponsored by Baylor College of Medicine. The goal of this training program is to train excellent, scholarly, ...

Syncope is a common clinical problem affecting up to 40% of individuals over a lifetime. Most cases, especially ...
