Two multicenter trials drew different conclusions about the value of conduction system relative to biventricular pacing for left bundle branch block in heart failure.
The findings suggest that use of the pacing technique during CRT should be reserved for expert operators, at least for now.
Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...
NEW ORLEANS -- The Heart Rhythm Society issued the first U.S. guidelines to address use of conductive system pacing with the intent to prevent or mitigate heart failure. Conduction system pacing, ...
Today, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), and Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS) released a new clinical practice guideline on cardiac physiologic ...
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 ...
Defibrillators and pacemakers help the heart maintain a regular rhythm. Defibrillators deliver a shock if the heart goes into arrhythmia. Pacemakers use electrical impulses to keep the heart from ...
