Researchers at The University of Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust have discovered a backup natural pacemaker, which is able to generate a pulse and control the heart rate. The ...

By harnessing light, my colleagues and I designed a wireless, ultrathin pacemaker that operates like a solar panel. This design not only eliminates the need for batteries but also minimizes ...

The procedure, which involved implanting the AVEIR VR ABBOTT leadless pacemaker through a minimally invasive transvenous ...

A 75-year-old woman suffering from sick sinus syndrome has successfully undergone a breakthrough leadless pacemaker implant at a Delhi hospital. This minimally invasive procedure significantly reduces ...

Generally, pacemakers are put in because the heart is going too slowly for one of two reasons. The first is that the heart's natural pacemaker - an area known as the sinus node which generates the ...

This enables the ventricles to contract together. Sometimes, the rhythm of the heart's natural pacemaker process becomes disrupted - a person's heart beats abnormally. It can be abnormally slow or ...

There are two common implantable devices for the heart: artificial pacemakers and defibrillators. Artificial pacemakers keep blood and oxygen flowing during times of stress. Defibrillators are devices ...

The longest documented pause is 15 seconds – a very long time to wait for your next heartbeat! “For the very first time, we have tested an alternative hypothesis that there is a circadian rhythm in ...

FineHeart, a clinical-stage MedTech company developing innovative medical devices for heart failure, has achieved a major milestone in its ...

"implanted pacemakers and defibrillators might contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when in close contact". Implanted defibrillators send electrical pulses to regulate abnormal heart ...
