Three new studies suggest that conduction abnormalities leading to permanent pacemaker implantation remain a frequent occurrence after TAVR that can be predicted by various patient, procedural, and ...

Patients who undergo minimally invasive heart valve replacement, known as TAVR, sometimes develop heart rhythm problems that necessitate placement of a permanent pacemaker. However, when a pacemaker ...

Implanting a permanent pacemaker after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with poor outcomes, such as higher mortality and heart failure admission at one year post-procedure, ...

Patients who undergo minimally invasive heart valve replacement, known as TAVR, sometimes develop heart rhythm problems that necessitate placement of a permanent pacemaker. However, when a pacemaker ...

Although some form of conduction disturbance is fairly common after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), fewer than 5% of patients receiving a Sapien valve require permanent pacemaker ...

Among Medicare beneficiaries, implantation was especially frequent for female patients and those undergoing tricuspid valve replacement with or without concomitant left-sided heart surgeries.

Abstract A pacemaker is a device implanted into a patient’s chest; it sends small electrical signals via leads placed in the heart and is used to treat clinically significant bradyarrhythmias. This ...

Patients are test driving a pacemaker outside the skin before deciding whether to have a permanent implant, reveals novel research. Patients are test driving a pacemaker outside the skin before ...

The 87-year-old monarch is said to be “doing well” and will remain in the hospital “for a few more days.” Due to a low heart rate, the King had a temporary pacemaker implanted while he was ...
