Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent clinical arrhythmia, imposes a major global health burden through elevated risks of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. Lysine propionylation (Kpr) is ...

Results of a new study show that pacemaker patients who have sleep apnea are at increased risk of irregular heart rhythm of atrial fibrillation. The study was presented Wednesday at the 2016 Heart ...

Background: The epidemiology and clinical implications of asymptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmias (AT) including both atrial fibrillation and flutter in pacemaker recipients with and without arrhythmia ...

A New Pacemaker Algorithm for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Atrial Dynamic Overdrive Pacing Trial (ADOPT) Electrophysiologic Characteristics of the Spontaneous Onset and ...

A 67-year-old man with acute anterolateral myocardial infarction had recurrent ventricular fibrillation that required insertion of temporary pacemaker. When a permanent pacemaker was inserted stable ...

The Aveir DR dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system (Abbott) performs well out to 1 year in patients largely treated for sinus node dysfunction or atrioventricular (AV) block, according to extended ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Researchers at the University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have discovered a backup natural pacemaker, which is able to generate a pulse and control the heart rate. The ...

Cardiac Rhythm Specialists for the University of Pennsylvania Health System have documented the effectiveness of a new technique to cure atrial fibrillation (A-Fib). The technique targets and isolates ...
