Pacing threshold varies during the 24 hours in children (Fig. 2). This variability is low, not exceeding 0.2 V (0.03 ± 0.01 V), so it is unlikely to affect pacemaker programming. There were no ...

Children fitted with epicardial pacemakers should be regularly screened to detect those at risk for coronary artery compression, recommend scientists in the journal HeartRhythm Children who require ...

In a proof-of-concept study that aims to address the unmet need for minimally invasive cardiac control and monitoring devices, researchers have developed a network of wireless devices, including a ...

Children fitted with epicardial pacemakers should be regularly screened to detect those at risk for coronary artery compression, recommend scientists in HeartRhythm The incidence of coronary artery ...

An indication for a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in a patient with an intracardiac shunt requires a balancing of the risks and benefits associated with a transvenous ...

Infection of pacemaker leads can develop into a serious systemic infection. Since investigations have shown that lead infection could originate from the site of pacemaker implantation, identification ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Novel miniature pacemakers were safely implanted in neonates and infants requiring pacing. The pacemakers ...

Defibrillators use electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rate, especially in cases of life threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, while pacemakers use low-energy electrical pulses to ...

Barcelona, Spain – Sunday 31 August 2014: A new batteryless cardiac pacemaker based on an automatic wristwatch and powered by heart motion was presented at ESC Congress 2014 today by Adrian Zurbuchen ...

Ventricular Capture Management™ (VCM) is a Medtronic Kappa pacemakers (PM) feature that automatically measures pacing threshold through detection of the evoked response after a pacing stimulus. The ...

The incidence of coronary artery compression in children fitted with epicardial pacemakers may be slightly more common than previously believed, say noted cardiologists. The incidence of coronary ...
