UC San Diego Health First in Region to Implant Dual Chamber, Leadless Pacemaker

DAIC

UC San Diego Health is the first in San Diego to successfully implant the world’s first dual chamber and leadless pacemaker system to help treat people with abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are the standard of care to regulate a patient’s irregular heartbeat.

Novel method combines heart biopsy and device implantation to reduce risk of complications

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Researchers have now found a way to combine right ventricular (RV) septal EMB, exploiting the benefit of 3D curved conduction system pacing (CSP) sheaths, with subsequent cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED, devices like pacemakers or defibrillators to regulate heart rhythm) implantation, using the same sheath.

A case of myocarditis and associated atrioventricular heart block: a diagnostic conundrum

The British Journal of Cardiology

Beyond conventional investigation and consideration of endomyocardial biopsy, there is a paucity of data to guide clinicians with regards to the issue of heart rhythm disorder. The case encapsulates the difficulties facing clinicians with such pathology and the need to further investigate and risk stratify such patients.

Post-operative pain following cardiac implantable electronic device procedures: Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

HeartRhythm

In the midst of the current opioid crisis, the pain management predicament does not spare the field of interventional cardiology, most notably the need to treat postoperative pain following the implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), including pacemakers and defibrillators.

Remote Patient Monitoring Workflow

Vector Remote

For cardiac clinics, that typically includes the following types of devices: Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs). These devices are implanted under the skin and can monitor the heart’s rhythm, delivering as-needed electrical shocks to correct abnormal heart rhythms.
