Pacemakers identify atrial fibrillation and enable initiation of anticoagulation to prevent strokes, according to new research. "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder and ...

MINERVA Trial Presented at Heart Rhythm Meeting Shows Medtronic Advanced Pacing Features Reduce the Progression of Persistent AF by 58 Percent While Reducing AF-Related Hospital Visits That Lead to ...

PHILADELPHIA — Accelerometer-based atrial sensing with a novel, enhanced, automated algorithm in patients with atrioventricular block and a single-chamber leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle ...

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 ...

People with pacemakers or defibrillators who experience only short episodes of an abnormal heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation have a very low risk of stroke, suggesting that anticoagulants in ...

LOS ANGELES – The Registry of Atrial Tachycardia and Atrial Fibrillation Episodes in the Cardiac Rhythm Management Device Population (RATE) shows that long episodes of atrial tachycardia or atrial ...

Researchers say they've found a way to transform ordinary pig heart muscle cells into a "biological pacemaker," a feat that might one day lead to the replacement of electronic pacemakers in humans.

THURSDAY, May 5, 2016 -- People with heart pacemakers and sleep apnea are at much greater risk for a dangerous heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, a new study suggests. With sleep apnea, ...

If you have atrial fibrillation (AFib), you may not need any treatment, or you may be able to manage it with medication. But this condition is almost always progressive and often needs lifelong ...

SSB Hospital in Faridabad recently completed a procedure that stands out for both its technical difficulty and its practical importance to patients who often run out of safe options. The hospital has ...
