Healio and Cardiology Today have compiled a list of the top news from the virtual Heart Rhythm Society Annual Scientific Sessions. Readers were most interested in radiation treatment for ventricular ...

Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) constitute a major breakthrough in the management of heart rhythm disorders. These devices largely include bradycardia pacemakers, biventricular ...

Concerns that electromagnetic interference from standard airport metal detectors could adversely affect the pacing and sensing functions of pacemakers (PMs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators ...

Balance athletic goals with arrhythmia risk: match the device model and sensor to the sport, and use stress testing to set detection zones and avoid inappropriate therapy.

(HealthDay News) — For patients with a legacy pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator system, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conducted at a strength of 1.5 Tesla is safe, according to a ...

Perhaps providing some clarity to a vexing clinical scenario, a registry study shows that patients with only brief episodes of atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation (AT/AF) detected by implanted ...

MRI scanning may be safe even for patients with legacy pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) not known to be MRI-ready, as long as a safety protocol is followed, a prospective ...

Primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) equipped for antitachycardia pacing (ATP) offered fewer first device shocks but perhaps at a cost, the APPRAISE ATP randomized trial ...

Reduced cardiac efficiency caused by suboptimal synchronization of the heart's normal contraction might contribute to the development of or exacerbate heart failure. Conceptually and in practice ...
