Cardiac pacing and defibrillation studies
Cardiac pacing and defibrillation studies is a research topic within Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine. Science Explorer counts 50k research works in it since 1950. 13.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the use of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) in the management of heart failure, particularly in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmias. The cluster covers topics such as the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, echocardiography-guided lead placement, remote monitoring, and the impact of CRT on dyssynchrony and sudden cardiac death.
