Last week, Abbott began the commercial launch of its new leadless pacemaker, which it believes is a historic development in the world of cardiac rhythm devices. Aveir DR is a better option than ...

Almost all pacemakers use wires to send electrical signals that help your heart beat normally. Most patients will never experience problems or complications from these life-saving devices. But for a ...

In the normal heart, the lower chambers (ventricles) pump at the same time and in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular ...

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 ...

In the normal heart, the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) pump in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). When a person has heart failure, often the right and left ventricles do not pump ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...
