The Appraisal Committee has prepared a Final Appraisal Determination (FAD) on Dual-chamber pacemakers for treating symptomatic bradycardia due to sick sinus syndrome without atrioventricular block, ...

Bradycardia is a lot more common than generally believed, but is often asymptomatic and not clinically relevant, and may lead to needless pacemaker therapy, suggests a post-hoc analysis of a major ...

Shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue and chest pain might sound like generic or non-specific symptoms, but they can indicate a serious heart issue that requires consultation with a cardiologist.

Hyoscyamine, an anticholinergic drug, may allow some patients who would otherwise require a pacemaker for slow ventricular response during atrial fibrillation (AF) to avoid it, a case report suggests.

An anticholinergic drug can be administered in place of pacemaker placement in patients who have atrial fibrillation (Afib) with bradycardia, physicians learned from the case of a 98-year-old man in ...

Not every heart patient needs a pacemaker. Expert explains warning signs, common myths, eligibility, and when a slow ...

Bradycardia refers to a resting heart rate that is slower than usual. A heart rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute (bpm) may indicate an underlying health issue, but this is not always the case.

Generally, pacemakers improve quality of life for individuals who have a condition causing bradycardia, or a slowed heart rate. However, because there is an electrical device implanted near your heart ...
