Abstract
Leadless pacemakers are being used with increased frequency due to improvements in the technologies, and the recognition of the substantial benefits over traditional transvenous devices. Current information shows a substantial reduction in morbidity with leadless devices which has resulted in a significant expansion in the indication for these devices. Patient selection now includes a younger population as well as those commonly excluded from consideration. Understanding these new applications will allow a larger group of patients to benefit from the significant advantages of leadless devices while not compromising quality and effective pacing. Further improvements in this technology will result in even more availability of these transformative devices.
期刊介绍:
The European Heart Journal Supplements (EHJs) is a long standing member of the ESC Journal Family that serves as a publication medium for supplemental issues of the flagship European Heart Journal. Traditionally EHJs published a broad range of articles from symposia to special issues on specific topics of interest.
The Editor-in-Chief, Professor Roberto Ferrari, together with his team of eminent Associate Editors: Professor Francisco Fernández-Avilés, Professors Jeroen Bax, Michael Böhm, Frank Ruschitzka, and Thomas Lüscher from the European Heart Journal, has implemented a change of focus for the journal. This entirely refreshed version of the European Heart Journal Supplements now bears the subtitle the Heart of the Matter to give recognition to the focus the journal now has.
The EHJs – the Heart of the Matter intends to offer a dedicated, scientific space for the ESC, Institutions, National and Affiliate Societies, Associations, Working Groups and Councils to disseminate their important successes globally.
