Your doctor will determine if demand pacing or rate-responsive pacing is a better fit for your specific needs.

Special catheter-guided lasers help free the lead from the surrounding scar tissue.

Patients lie on a table that is slowly tilted upward, used to measure blood pressure, heart rate and gravity’s effect on the heart.

A small battery-operated device that is used to record the heart’s activity for those who have irregular cardiac symptoms.
