Houston-area patients who need pacemakers now have local access to a minimally invasive and cosmetically invisible device about the size of a large multivitamin that can make the heart\u2019s chambers harmonize like a symphony.<\/p>\n
St. Luke\u2019s Health-The Woodlands Hospital<\/a> was the first hospital in Greater Houston to offer Micra AV<\/a>, the world\u2019s smallest pacemaker with atrioventricular (AV) synchrony<\/a>, which ensures that the atria and ventricles act in concert when the device is implanted directly in the heart.<\/p>\n
