Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation rate has substantially risen in the foregoing decades. Unfortunately, this upsurge in CIED implantation rate has been accompanied ...

Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), such as pacemakers and defibrillators, are essential for managing various heart conditions. However, infections associated with these devices pose ...

"Pacemakers are designed just to keep the heart from going too slow…that's the simplest type of cardiac implantable electronic device," cardiologist Dr. Bruce Wilkoff explained in a Cleveland ...

Developed by Northwestern Engineering’s Igor Efimov and George Washington University’s Luyao Lu, the implantable device uses ...

“This is the first prospective study to show that remotely monitored cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) data, summarised as a risk score, can be used to predict mortality. “This ...

has published guidelines calling for the use of a remote heart monitoring pathway in people with cardiac implantable electronic devices, such as pacemakers, living with heart failure. Elsewhere ...

Cardiac device therapy is the use of devices in the treatment of patients with arrhythmias or heart failure. Commonly used devices include implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, devices for ...

or an AI-driven device that analyses heart activity and adjusts treatment based on fluctuations. Implantable cardiac monitors developed by Medtronic, for example, use AI to detect atrial fibrillation.

Our recommendations for duration of antimicrobial therapy after removal of the infected device are summarized in Figure 4. While CIED pocket infection may be treated with intravenous or oral ...
