Leadless pacemakers are considered one of the major technological advancements in cardiology in recent years. Many efforts are made to provide physiological atrio-ventricular (AV) pacing. With the first-generation leadless ventricular, dual, dual (VDD) pacemaker, Micra AV (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), a high variability in AV synchrony was reported. A second generation, Micra AV2, is now available for clinical use, promising smarter and higher automatic AV synchrony. This article reviews the different improvements proposed for this new device.
无导线起搏器被认为是近年来心脏病学领域的主要技术进步之一。人们为实现生理性房室(AV)起搏付出了诸多努力。第一代无导线心室双腔(VDD)起搏器Micra AV(美敦力公司,美国明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯)被报道存在房室同步性的高度变异性。如今,第二代Micra AV2已可供临床使用,有望实现更智能、更高的自动房室同步性。本文综述了针对这款新设备提出的不同改进之处。
