Defibrillators use electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rate, especially in cases of life threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, while pacemakers use low-energy electrical pulses to ...
Pacemakers and defibrillators have a growing use in pediatrics and in patients with congenital heart disease, but they present unique problems and implications for their implantation and follow-up.
Defibrillators and pacemakers help the heart maintain a regular rhythm. Defibrillators deliver a shock if the heart goes into arrhythmia. Pacemakers use electrical impulses to keep the heart from ...
Boston Scientific has begun a clinical trial of its first modular cardiac rhythm implant system. It consists of a leadless pacemaker and an implantable cardioverter defibrillator—two separate devices ...
Pacemakers and defibrillators are devices that sit under the skin, in the chest area near a patient's heart. They help with controlling abnormal heart rhythms. A pacemaker can treat an abnormally slow ...
REHOVOT, Israel, April 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Xcardia Innovation Ltd., a private medical device company developing innovative cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator technology, announced the ...
Upgrading a patient from an existing permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device can be successfully and safely done in the ...
Electrophysiologists are asking for better communication between their field and the interventional cardiology community, particularly with operators who perform percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid ...
There are unique technical issues that must be considered with the implantation of devices in small patients and those with CHD. Although most centers report low complication rates of complications in ...
