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 ...

Discordant results from two trials comparing conduction system pacing with biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) leave open the question of whether conduction system pacing ...

Multicenter randomized trial (n=200) assigned LBBP versus BiVP for CRT in LBBB with LVEF ≤35%, using time to death or HF hospitalization as primary endpoint. Event rates favored LBBP, reducing death ...

Sept. 15, 2004 (Toronto) — Heart failure patients undergoing resynchronization therapy with a biventricular (BiV) pacemaker plus implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) experience improvements in ...

A 173-patient randomized trial in HFrEF (LVEF ≤35%) with LBBB (QRS ≥130 ms) showed CSP was inferior to BiVP for a hierarchical 12‑month composite endpoint. Worse outcomes with CSP were reflected by an ...

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

Ablation plus cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is superior to pharmacological rate control in reducing mortality in severely symptomatic permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with 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 ...

A teenage girl faced with sudden rapid heart deterioration, a man in the prime years of his life suffering from debilitating heart failure and a former NFL athlete crippled by end-stage heart failure ...

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 ...

Children with congenital complete atrioventricular block often require lifelong pacemaker therapy. Although such therapy restores a normal heart rate, it also results in dyssynchronous left ...
