DENVER — Patients with indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillators and wide QRS durations derived no additional benefit from left ventricular pacing compared with biventricular pacing, ...
Biventricular pacing is an excellent option for certain patients with advanced HF. Also known as “cardiac resynchronization therapy,” biventricular pacing has been shown to improve HF symptoms in a ...
Looking at a large cohort of patients undergoing various types of open heart surgery, investigators have provided contemporary data that can be used to inform patients about the risks of cardiac ...
A bi-ventricular cardiac pacemaker is commonly known as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). It is used to treat delay in heart ventricle contractions in individuals with advanced heart failure.
Doctors at GB Pant Hospital recently implanted a bi-ventricular pacemaker — a device that paces both sides of the lower chambers of the heart — to save the life of a 44-year-old woman suffering from a ...
Concerns that electromagnetic interference from standard airport metal detectors could adversely affect the pacing and sensing functions of pacemakers (PMs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators ...
You may have heard of two little devices that doctors use to help treat heart problems: pacemakers and ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators). They use them when you have a type of heart ...
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2006;29(1):70-96. R-wave double-counting may result in shocks for SVT slower than the programmed VT detection interval because alternate device-detected intervals ...
