Hoag recently achieved a cardiac medical milestone by successfully implanting the world’s first dual chamber leadless pacemaker. Smaller than a AAA battery, the pacemaker system, known as AVEIR™ DR, by Abbott, treats patients with various slow or abnormal heart rhythms. Hoag is one of a few initial sites in the country to participate in the launch of this new technology.
