Estimates suggest that around three million Americans are living with cardiac pacemakers, according to the American Heart Association. Now, thanks to MountainStar Healthcare, a new kind of pacemaker – ...

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has provisionally recommended leadless cardiac pacemaker implantation for patients with bradyarrhythmias who require single-chamber pacing.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday released a final order to reclassify external pacemaker pulse generator (EPPG) devices and pacing system analyzers (PSAs), which are currently class ...
