In addition to these check-ups with your doctor, your clinic or practice may choose to have your cardiac device checked through remote monitoring. This remote monitoring can replace some visits, but not all. Your doctor may still need to perform a physical examination to adjust your cardiac dev...
In addition to size and longevity benefits, Micra devices are also the only leadless pacemakers with remote monitoring capabilities, which allow a doctor or clinic to check on a patient’s heart device without the need for a patient to travel to their clinic for an in-person appointment. Other...
Check implanted device function after defibrillation. Patients with Implanted Pacemakers If possible, place defibrillation electrodes away from the internal pacemaker generator. Treat this patient like any other patient requiring emergency care. Pacemaker pulses may prevent advisement of an appropriate shock,...
