The incidence of coronary artery compression in children fitted with epicardial pacemakers may be slightly more common than previously believed, say noted cardiologists. The incidence of coronary ...

Implanting a permanent pacemaker after TAVI for prophylactic reasons is not associated with better clinical outcomes when compared with patients with conduction disturbances and a clear indication for ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

Needing a permanent pacemaker after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) was linked to mortality in Swedish registry data. Such risk was not apparent in the first few years: all-cause mortality ...

Approximately 1 in 3 patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the CoreValve device will require a permanent pacemaker within 30 days of the ...

Thirty-one consecutive patients (18 boys, 61%) who underwent the implantation of a Medtronic Kappa 901 pacemaker were enrolled. Mean age was 7.5 ± 6.2 years (median 6.5, range 1 day to 24 years).
