For the first time in Israel: new heart pacing technology introduced at Shaare Zedek
Published
At Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, doctors have begun using a new heart pacing technology. This is the first time such a technology has been used in Israel.
Cardiac pacing is a medical treatment for patients whose heart rhythm is not normal. When the heart beats too slowly, or when it loses its regular rhythm, doctors can implant in the patient a small device called a pacemaker. The device sends electrical signals to the heart that help it beat at the correct rate.
The new technology adds a treatment option for patients suffering from heart rhythm problems. According to reports, its use is considered a milestone in cardiac medicine in Israel. Further details about how the device works and about the patients who received the treatment were not published in the original article.
The first use of the technology at Shaare Zedek shows that the medical center is adopting new treatment methods. In the future, it will become clear how the technology will affect the treatment of other heart patients in the country.
