Dr. Hunter Champion answers the question: 'What Is A Biventricular Pacemaker?' — -- Question: What is a biventricular pacemaker or cardiac resynchronization therapy (also called a CRT device), ...

Dr. Friedman answers the question: 'Types Of Pacemakers, Best Candidates?' — -- Question: What are the different kinds of pacemakers and is there a special kind for each person? Answer :A ...

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 ...

CRT is a surgical procedure in which doctors implant a pacemaker in both the right and left sides of the heart to help your heart’s chambers beat together. The goal is to improve heart pumping ...

MINNEAPOLIS and DENVER - Medtronic, Inc. today announced new data demonstrating that simultaneously pacing the lower chambers of the heart, or biventricular (BiV) pacing with a cardiac ...

Sept. 14, 2004 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an implant procedure for obstructive sleep apnea, a second-generation biventricular pacemaker for patients with atrial ...

There is evidence that biventricular (BV) pacing reduces the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias, although the underlying mechanism has not been established. Kowal et al. have investigated this in ...

Your heart has an internal pacemaker called the sinus node. It's a group of cells, located on top of your heart, that sends electrical signals into the heart and controls your heartbeat. Sometimes, ...

To the Editor: Yu et al. (Nov. 26 issue) 1 found that among patients with bradycardia, the left ventricular ejection fraction at 12 months was 7 percentage points lower in the patients who were ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...
