Meanings of leadless pacemaker in English

Competitor St Jude Medical Inc is also working on a leadless pacemaker.

The Nanostim was the first leadless pacemaker that sat inside the heart.

The development of a leadless pacemaker is possible due to advances in battery chemistry and chip systems, Reynolds noted.

Combined implantation of an S-ICD with a leadless pacemaker (LP) has been proposed to overcome this limitation.

This case details the successful implementation of a leadless pacemaker device in a patient with multiple venous occlusions and an IVC filter.

Nonetheless current use of a leadless pacemaker is hampered by its limited atrial sensing and pacing capability, as well as battery life-span and retrievability.

Abbott, which manufactured Nanostim, says that many patients have been helped by leadless pacemakers and many more will benefit from this technology in the future.
