Background Cardiac pacemakers are limited by device-related complications, notably
infection and problems related to pacemaker leads. We studied a miniaturized, fully self-contained …

Background : The Kardia Band (KB) is a novel technology that enables patients to record a
rhythm strip using an Apple Watch (Apple, Cupertino, California). The band is paired with an …

Ambulatory ECG (AECG) is very commonly employed in a variety of clinical contexts to detect
cardiac arrhythmias and/or arrhythmia patterns which are not readily obtained from the …

… Dr Cantillon has received compensation for services rendered to St. Jude Medical; serves
on speakers bureau for Boston Scientific and St. Jude Medical; and has received research …

Background Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing
or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system …

BACKGROUND: Indications for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasing.
Although CIED infections occur infrequently, the impact of this outcome is expected to be …

Background It is difficult to predict adverse patient outcomes associated with transvenous
lead extraction (TLE) procedures. Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the …

Introduction:“Idiopathic” ventricular arrhythmias most often arise from the right ventricular
outflow tract (RVOT), although arrhythmias from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) are also …

BACKGROUND: Ventricular tachyarrhythmia events (VTE) are common among refractory
heart failure patients requiring ventricular assist device (VAD) support. It is unknown whether …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to retrospectively characterize transvenous pacemaker
(TVP) complications and associated health care costs in a large-scale US patient cohort. …
