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

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 ...

Silent atrial fibrillation is very common and may be the cause of many strokes that previously could not be explained. In all, atrial fibrillation may be responsible for nearly one in five strokes. An ...

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 ...

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 ...

Harish Manyam, MD, chief of cardiology at Erlanger and Chair of Medicine for the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine – Chattanooga, completed Tennessee’s first atrial ...

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 ...

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 ...

NEW ORLEANS -- A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, ...

The Identity pacemaker family, which includes the world's smallest dual-chamber pacemaker, provides clinicians with the most advanced pacemaker technology available, including the revolutionary AF ...
