Topics of research have included:

  • The safety of different types of pacemakers.
  • How well different types of pacemakers work.
  • Pain control procedures during and after pacemaker surgery.
  • The safety of different blood thinners used during pacemaker implantation or replacement.
  • The potential link between stroke and cardiac device wires, called leads.
