The effect of biventricular pacing on cardiac function after open heart surgery [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Temporary postoperative pacing could enhance recovery of the cardiac function. The right ventricular pacing (RV) is commonly used, but it can cause dyssynchronous contraction of both ventricles.

Direct laser writing for cardiac tissue engineering: a microfluidic heart on a chip with integrated transducers [PDF]
Lab on a Chip, 2021, 21, 1724 - 1737, 2021 We have designed and fabricated a microfluidic-based platform for sensing mechanical forces generated by cardiac microtissues in a highly-controlled microenvironment. Our fabrication approach combines Direct Laser Writing (DLW) lithography with soft lithography.

Pacing for neurally-mediated syncope: How to decide? [PDF]
, 2014 Neurally-mediated syncope has a broad clinical spectrum which ranges from typical vasovagal syncope on one hand, to those situations in which reflex syncope occurs with uncertain, or even apparently absent, triggers or prodromes, on the other hand ...

Bridging the future of cardiac stimulation: physiologic or leadless pacing? [PDF]
, 2022 Cardiac simulation has moved from early life-saving pacemakers meant only to prevent asystole to current devices capable of physiologic stimulation for the treatment of heart rhythm and heart failure, that are also intended for remote patient and disease-

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2019 Initial efforts to artificially stimulate the heart were borne out of a necessity to prevent catastrophic bradycardic events. The initial pacemaker systems were large, bulky external devices. However, advancements in technology allowed for the development of internally powered, fully implantable devices.
