Patients are test driving a pacemaker outside the skin before deciding whether to have a permanent implant, reveals novel research. Patients are test driving a pacemaker outside the skin before ...

A battery-sized, wireless pacemaker was safe and effective in early testing. The smaller leadless device may reduce the risk of complications that occur with traditional pacemakers. After three months ...

Generally, pacemakers improve quality of life for individuals who have a condition causing bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate. However, because there is an electrical device implanted near your heart ...

A new small, wireless self-contained pacemaker appears safe and feasible for use in patients, according to a small study in the American Heart Association journal Circulation. Although traditional ...

Background: T-wave alternans (TWA) is a useful method for identifying patients who are at risk for sudden cardiac death. We aimed to determine the effects of different pacing modes on test results and ...
