Objective:To assess the radiation exposure in cardiovascular implantable electronic device(CIED)implantation procedures,the effect of fluoroscopy frame rate on various radiation exposure indices,and in-hospital outcom...
Background:Most children in need of cardiac pacemakers remain dependent on the function of the permanent from childhood to adulthood.We sought to evaluate and compare the function between epicardial and endocardial pa...
Objectives:We aim to compare the major complications between leadless pacemakers and traditional pacemakers.Background:Leadless pacemakers,which are increasingly used in clinical practice,have several advantages compa...
1 Introduction Over one million cardiac pacemakers are implanted every year worldwide,[11 of which approximately 200,000 are implanted in the United States alone.121 Combined with an aging population and increasing p...

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) septicemia is associated with high morbidity and mortality especially in patients with immunosuppression,diabetes,renal disease and endocarditis.There has been an incr...
AIM:To determine if there were any interactions between cardiac devices and small bowel capsules secondary to electromagnetic interference (EMI) in patients who have undergone small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE).METH...
Background It is welt known that increased cumulative ventricular pacing proportion (CumVP%) is one of the most important causes for adverse cardiovascular events. Therefore, how to reduce CumVP% has been a treatmen...
The possibility of rats mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) modified with murine hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated 2 (mHCN2) gene as biological pacemakers in vitro was studied. The cultured MSCs were trans...
