Description
Aya Miyazaki and a team of co-authors chart nationwide trends in implanted heart devices in Japan. Their study appeared in twenty twenty-six. Pacemakers, defibrillators, and resynchronization devices come in many forms, and Japan lacked a full count across types and ages.
The team used the national health claims database, plus industry data for surface-lead and child cases. In fiscal twenty twenty-three, vein-implanted pacemakers led by far, followed by leadless pacemakers. Under-skin defibrillator use rose across ages while the vein type fell. Surface-lead use peaked in children and the elderly. The authors track how strategy shifts with age, giving planners a lifespan view of device care that single-type studies miss.
