Objectives: The CAPTURE study evaluated the accuracy of automated atrial and right ventricular (RV) threshold algorithms. Background: Modern pacemakers include many added features designed to improve ...

A leadless cardiac pacemaker showed "good safety and reliable function" during the initial six months of follow-up in the LEADLESS II study, investigators reported. A leadless cardiac pacemaker showed ...

ORLANDO, FL—The second major trial this year shows good safety and efficacy for a leadless intracardiac transcatheter pacing system in the short term, but some in the electrophysiology community worry ...

Cardiac pacing is the delivery of a small electrical current to the heart to stimulate myocardial contraction. External (transcutaneous or percussion) pacing can be established quickly and easily ...

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 ...

Boston Scientific wants to stand out in the leadless pacemmaker space. The Marlborough, MA-based company said it has initiated the MODULAR ATP clinical trial to evaluate the performance and ...

Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether biventricular pacing is ...

Medtronic's Revo MRI SureScan is designed for use during magnetic resonance imaging. The company says it will begin shipping the $5,000 to $10,000 devices immediately. Elizabeth Armstrong Moore ...

The CAPTURE study investigated the accuracy, threshold variability, and applicability of a device that includes both an atrial and RV threshold measurement algorithms. In addition, the longevity ...
