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 ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major ...

DENVER — Patients with indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillators and wide QRS durations derived no additional benefit from left ventricular pacing compared with biventricular pacing, ...

INTRODUCTION Chronic heart failure (HF) results from various disease processes. There are no data on the effect of the etiology of HF on the improvement after pacemaker upgrade. OBJECTIVES The aim of ...

LAS VEGAS — Treatment with biventricular pacing is cost-effective for patients with left-ventricular dysfunction and symptomatic atrioventricular block, according to an economic analysis of the ...

The US FDA study is intended to evaluate the system for treating life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Patients with indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have better clinical outcomes when they undergo left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) rather than conventional biventricular ...

You may have heard of two little devices that doctors use to help treat heart problems: pacemakers and ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators). They use them when you have a type of heart ...
