Background: Optimal treatment of infections related to implantable electrophysiologic
cardiac devices is poorly defined. Objective: To describe the clinical presentation, treatment …

The number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implanted in the United
States has grown rapidly over the past 2 decades. This trend is due to expanding …

The risk of cardiac device infection (CDI) is rising significantly, with several risk factors
identified. The purpose of this study is to determine the rate of CDI at our center and to …

Despite improved preventive measures, infection associated with the use of cardiac
implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) to treat often life-threatening conditions is rising at an …

The increasing number of implantation procedures of implantable cardiac electronic devices
(ICEDs) leads to a substantial growth of a cohort of patients in whom complications of such a …

In recent decades there has been a relevant increase in the implantation rate of cardiac
implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), albeit with relevant geographical inhomogeneities …

In recent decades there has been a relevant increase in the implantation rate of cardiac
implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), albeit with relevant geographical inhomogeneities …

The use of cardiac devices, that is, pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators,
has increased, and the incidence will likely continue to increase due to an aging population …

Background: Cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infection rates are
increasing faster than implantation rates. More effective antimicrobial prophylaxis may help …
