Infection of pacemaker leads can develop into a serious systemic infection. Since investigations have shown that lead infection could originate from the site of pacemaker implantation, identification ...

In the normal heart, the lower chambers (ventricles) pump at the same time and in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular ...

In the normal heart, the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) pump in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). When a person has heart failure, often the right and left ventricles do not pump ...

Electrophysiologists are asking for better communication between their field and the interventional cardiology community, particularly with operators who perform percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid ...
