Heart Devices: Pacemakers and ICDs

with Bruce Wilkoff, MD

Description:

Over the last several years we have heard about the great strides in heart devices such as new pacemakers and implantable defibrillators that treat heart rhythm problems, improve heart function, and save lives. Recently, we have also heard news stories about manufacturer recalls and potential serious problems related to the devices. All of this can leave us confused when confronted with the need for one of these devices. Dr. Wilkoff, a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist and Director of Cardiac Pacing and Tachyarrhythmia Devices, will provide answers to your questions about pacemakers and defibrillators including the latest information from the 2009 Heart Rhythm Society meeting regarding the benefits of devices, lead extraction, and MRI safety.
