Pacing threshold varies during the 24 hours in children (Fig. 2). This variability is low, not exceeding 0.2 V (0.03 ± 0.01 V), so it is unlikely to affect pacemaker programming. There were no ...

• Long-term experience with implanting epicardial pacing leads with good lead survival, improved with the use of steroid-eluting leads. Fortescue EB, Berul CI, Cecchin F et al.: Comparison of modern ...

Children fitted with epicardial pacemakers should be regularly screened to detect those at risk for coronary artery compression, recommend scientists in the journal HeartRhythm Children who require ...

Children fitted with epicardial pacemakers should be regularly screened to detect those at risk for coronary artery compression, recommend scientists in HeartRhythm The incidence of coronary artery ...

An indication for a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in a patient with an intracardiac shunt requires a balancing of the risks and benefits associated with a transvenous ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Novel miniature pacemakers were safely implanted in neonates and infants requiring pacing. The pacemakers ...

In a proof-of-concept study that aims to address the unmet need for minimally invasive cardiac control and monitoring devices, researchers have developed a network of wireless devices, including a ...

Infection of pacemaker leads can develop into a serious systemic infection. Since investigations have shown that lead infection could originate from the site of pacemaker implantation, identification ...

Invasive epicardial coronary physiologic assessment is increasingly performed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of ...

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 ...
