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), ...

Biventricular pacing therapy is effective in patients with severe congestive heart failure. Strain Doppler imaging (SDI) is a new tool for measuring regional myocardial deformation. We evaluated ...

The BLOCK HF trial demonstrated that, during continual cardiac pacing, adverse left ventricular remodelling and deterioration of systolic function occurred more frequently with right ventricular than ...

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 ...

LOS ANGELES (March 8, 2002) – Patients who suffer from advanced congestive heart failure and heart rhythm abnormalities may qualify to participate in one of two research trials now underway at ...

Objective: To identify subgroups of heart failure patients who might benefit from biventricular pacing. Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves the quality of life, New York Heart ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Attendees of Heart Rhythm 2022 heard results from numerous studies investigating the impact of conduction-system pacing, which includes both His-bundle and left bundle branch (LBB) ...

A new therapy to re-engage the heart's natural electrical pathways -- instead of bypassing them -- could mean more treatment options for heart failure patients who also suffer from electrical ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses the regeneration of the cardiovascular system. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Researchers at Texas Heart Institute (THI) and UCLA crossed a significant milestone in the development of wirelessly powered, leadless pacemakers. In an article in the Nature Research journal ...
