Heart-Pacing Devices Hold Promise for Heart Failure

HealthDay -- New research provides more evidence that a new type of pacemaker/defibrillator technology may be a good option for patients with mild forms of heart failure. An international team of researchers reports that the kind of heart “pacing” provided by new defibrillators and pacemakers can help these patients. But the research still needs to be confirmed before doctors begin embracing its findings, said a cardiologist familiar with the research.
