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 ...

Heart problems are nothing new. Humans have been fascinated by electrocardiography since the era of Hippocrates (via St. Luke's Hospital Cardiology Department). With each passing century, medicine's ...

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

NICE recommends leadless cardiac pacemakers as the standard of care for people with slow heart rhythms.NICE has issued final ...

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 ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...

Doctors are calling a first-of-its kind wireless pacemaker a game changer, saying the newly-approved device will help keep heart patients alive. Barry Lawrence, a 77-year-old Orange County resident, ...

A healthy heart beats 60 to 100 beats per minute, but when that rate slows down, patients require a pacemaker. Experts say traditional versions are bulky and need two ...

The heartbeat originates from spontaneous depolarizations in the sinoatrial node, which lead to the spread of electrical signals throughout the heart via a specialized conduction system Failure of the ...
