Background Although the presence of an RV lead is a potential cause of tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the clinical impact of significant lead-induced TR is unknown. Objective To evaluate the effect of ...

Dual-chamber pacemakers: These devices have two leads, one connected to the right atrium and one connected to the right ventricle. They treat conditions like atrioventricular blocks (partial or ...

Presentation underscores unique potential for atrioventricular interval modulation (“AVIM”) therapy to manage blood pressure in older, high-risk patients who have indicators of diastolic dysfunction ...

Traditional pacemakers have one or more leads that are placed in the atrium (upper chamber) or ventricle (lower chamber), or in some cases both based on the patients’ medical condition.

Once the lead wire is inside the heart, it will be tested to make sure that it is in the correct place and that it works. The healthcare provider may insert 1, 2, or 3 leads, depending on the type of ...

We aim to explore how these factors, along with left atrial diameter (LAD), contribute to AF development, providing insights into optimizing pacemaker settings to potentially reduce AF risk in ...

Objective To examine the mid-term and long-term outcomes in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) submitted to pacing. Design Prospective, observational study. Setting Single, ...

Unlike traditional pacemakers, it consists of two miniaturised devices, each one-tenth the size of conventional models, implanted directly into the heart’s right atrium and ventricle. As the world’s ...

The National Heart Institute (IJN) today announced it has successfully implanted the world’s first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system, the Abbott AVEIR™ DR, on several of its patients.

Unlike traditional pacemakers, it consists of two miniaturised devices, each one-tenth the size of conventional models, implanted directly into the heart’s right atrium and ventricle. As the world’s ...
