Dual-Chamber Leadless Pacemaker Impresses in Safety-and-Performance Study
NEW ORLEANS — A leadless dual-chamber pacemaker with bidirectional wireless communication turned in very promising short-term results in patients with standard indications for dual-chamber pacing, according to the Aveir DR i2i Study. The implantation procedure, consisting of two functioning leadless pacemakers that established implant-to-implant communication, was successful in 98.3% (n=295 of 300) of trial patients, […]
Dominant form of heart failure caused by metabolic-immune interaction, review article suggests
The dominant form of heart failure worldwide appears to be caused by a strong, bidirectional interaction between the body’s response to metabolic stress and the immune system, according to a review article written by UT Southwestern researchers and colleagues. The article, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, argues for more research into this root cause to […]
