The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is associated with fewer lead-related complications than a transvenous ICD; however, the subcutaneous ICD cannot provide bradycardia and ...

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) constitute a major breakthrough in the management of heart rhythm disorders. These devices largely include bradycardia pacemakers, biventricular ...

Defibrillators use electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rate, especially in cases of life threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, while pacemakers use low-energy electrical pulses to ...

A pacemaker is a small electronic device that helps keep the heart beating regularly. It can represent a life-changing treatment for heart conditions such as arrhythmias. It is generally not too ...
