title: The Emerging Roles of Leadless Devices.
abstract: The role of leadless devices to treat cardiac rhythm disorders and heart failure is emerging. Subcutaneous defibrillator (S-ICD) and leadless pacemakers were developed to ameliorate the risks associated with chronic transvenous leads. Potential benefits of leadless pacemakers and S-ICD include more favorable infection profile, less risk of venous stenosis or occlusion, and less risk of tricuspid valve insufficiency. Novel implantable leadless monitors for heart failure represent a novel diagnostic tool that can guide therapy for CHF.
