Current Monitoring of Pacemakers, Defibrillators May Underestimate Device Problems
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)The current monitoring of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and defibrillators may be underestimating device problems, according to UC San Francisco researchers who propose systematic methods to determine accurate causes of sudden death in those with CIEDs as well as improved monitoring for device concerns.
