Following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), disturbances in the heart's electrical conduction system can make a ...

New research highlights postnatal regeneration limits and pathological remodeling of the cardiac conduction system after myocardial infarction, uncovering mechanisms behind clinical arrhythmogenesis ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures taken after the first pig-to-human heart transplant found significantly different electrical conduction characteristics compared to those seen in native pig hearts ...

New research in Sweden has produced a "blueprint" revealing how the human heart is built during prenatal development. It offers insights that could lead to improved prenatal care and new treatments ...

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 ...

For patients with heart failure, a reduced ejection fraction, and an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), using His-Purkinje conduction system pacing (HPCSP) is safe and feasible ...

Currently, there are only rough anatomical landmarks to help cardiac surgeons prevent accidental damage to the cardiac conduction system (CCS) – a network of cells that send signals to the heart to ...

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Medtronic announced its cardiac lead received an expanded indication from the FDA for left bundle branch area ...

NEW ORLEANS -- Among patients with heart failure, conduction system pacing-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy was associated with improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ...

If the heart's rhythm is either too quick, too slow or is not regular, it is called arrhythmia. Arrhythmia does not ...
