Pacemakers have become smaller and more sophisticated over the decades, but they still share one defining characteristic: They must enter the body to operate. Researchers at the Massachusetts ...

We tend to think of a pacemaker as a man made device, a piece of metal surgically implanted in a damaged heart to help redirect the rhythm of the heartbeat. But the heart has its own “pacemaker” cells ...

Following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), disturbances in the heart's electrical conduction system can make a pacemaker necessary. A recent study shows that the significance of a ...

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

Research by Boston Children's validates an innovative approach to mapping the heart's invisible conduction tissue during surgery. Research data from separate studies show that using electrophysiology ...

Dear Doctor Roach: What’s the difference between a pacemaker and a defibrillator? -- T.S.B. Answer: Both are implantable devices to treat electrical problems of the heart. A pacemaker is a much older ...

A pacemaker may be useful for atrial fibrillation (AFib) involving a slow heart rate or other heart conduction disorders. However, doctors may recommend lifestyle changes to manage AFib before a ...

Hearing the words heart disease often makes people think of major surgery or a pacemaker. Many assume that every person diagnosed with a heart condition will eventually need one. However, ...
