Ventricular Capture Management™ (VCM) is a Medtronic Kappa pacemakers (PM) feature that automatically measures pacing threshold through detection of the evoked response after a pacing stimulus. The ...

The CAPTURE study investigated the accuracy, threshold variability, and applicability of a device that includes both an atrial and RV threshold measurement algorithms. In addition, the longevity ...

In the version of the Research Highlight initially published online and in print, the text “29.3% had an adequate 6-month pacing capture threshold” should have ...

Cardiac pacemakers are limited by device-related complications, notably infection and problems related to pacemaker leads. We studied a miniaturized, fully self-contained leadless pacemaker that is ...

A novel leadless cardiac pacemaker demonstrates stable performance and reassuring safety over 1 year after implantation, according to results from a small study published in the April 21, 2015, issue ...

Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved the first pacemaker that does not require the use of wired leads to provide an electrical connection between the pulse-generating device and the ...

Transvenous leads that deliver pacing therapy to the heart via a subcutaneous pacemaker cause complications in approximately 12.5% of patients implanted with the device. In a new study published in ...
