Bradycardia Therapy

Bradycardia Therapy

A bradycardia is a condition of the heart, where the heart is beating in a (sometimes irregular) rhythm that is too slow to maintain sufficient supply of oxygenated blood throughout the body. Such condition may be caused by dysfunctions of the sinu-atrial (SA) node, the atrio-ventricular (AV) node, or other parts of the heart's conduction system. In these cases bradycardia therapy aims at restoring a regular sinus rhythm and sufficient heart rate through battery-powered devices (referred to as pacemakers or implantable pulse generators [IPG]) using small electrical impulses delivered through leads directly to the heart in an effort to stimulate heart muscle cells externally, when intrinsic stimulation fails or is unreliable.

 

Pacemaker


Pacing Leads


BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring

Home Monitoring® guided care allows healthcare staff to react in advance of status deterioration, and improves therapy safety, patient outcomes and survival.

ProMRI

ProMRI® technology offers patients safe access to MRIs under certain conditions.

CLS

CLS is the only and unique physiological sensor able to adapt the heart rate in total synchrony with the autonomic system and is the only one able to react both to mental and physical activities.
