In a breakthrough that could greatly ease the burden for patients recovering from cardiac surgery, scientists have developed a new type of temporary pacemaker that never needs to be removed. The world ...

Scientists have designed a temporary, battery-free pacemaker that can be broken down by the patient’s body when its work is done, the latest advance in the emerging field of bioelectronics. In a paper ...

The cardiac pacemaker harmlessly dissolves over the course of 35 days. (Courtesy: Northwestern University) Temporary cardiac pacemakers provide essential pacing for patients with short-term heart ...

Roughly one percent of infants are born with heart defects every year. The majority of these cases only require a temporary implant for about seven days to allow time for the heart to naturally ...

An experimental temporary pacemaker that is miniaturized, externally powered, and fully bioresorbable is being developed. The 1-cm-diameter device successfully triggered ventricular activation in ...

About 1 in every 12 patients who undergo TAVR with a balloon-expandable prosthesis have conduction abnormalities that lead to permanent pacemaker implantation within 30 days, according to an ...

Patients are test driving a pacemaker outside the skin before deciding whether to have a permanent implant, reveals novel research presented today at EHRA EUROPACE - CARDIOSTIM 2015 by Professor ...

In a groundbreaking advancement, researchers have developed a dissolvable pacemaker that eliminates the need for invasive surgical procedures typically associated with temporary pacemakers. This ...

Background: T-wave alternans (TWA) is a useful method for identifying patients who are at risk for sudden cardiac death. We aimed to determine the effects of different pacing modes on test results and ...

The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves after ...
