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 ...

A 78-year-old man with a history of heart failure presents for routine follow-up 1 week after insertion of a pacemaker. As part of the evaluation, a 12-lead ECG is obtained. The correct diagnosis is ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that cardiac pacing may help epilepsy patients with seizure-related falls due to ictal asystole, an unusual condition in which the heart stops beating during an epileptic ...

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 ...

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, ...
