Over 3 million Americans rely on pacemakers, with 200,000 implanted each year. These small, battery-powered devices use electrical impulses to keep hearts beating at a steady rhythm. However, pacemaker technology is advancing rapidly and there are new, innovative options available.
Join us as we discuss how dual chamber leadless pacemakers are transforming heart care by offering a wireless, less invasive alternative to traditional pacemakers. This innovative device uses two small wireless implants placed directly in the heart. The device lasts longer and has fewer complications for those who are eligible to receive it.
Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Michael Broman, MD, PhD, the cardiac electrophysiologist at OSF HealthCare doing the procedure, and Brock Doehring, a sales representative from Abbott, the company that developed the device. They’ll shed light on how the dual chamber leadless pacemaker reduces risks, simplifies recovery and represents a major step forward in heart care.
