This week Cambridge Consultants unveiled a semi-leadless pacemaker it designed for start-up EBR Systems. The device, called Wireless Cardiac Stimulation system (WiCS), includes a leadless electrode ...

A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance over three months, bolstering evidence for this new pacemaker option, according to results from a multi-center, international clinical ...

Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth. Just like ultrasound converts electrical voltage into pressure or sound, we can engineer similar materials onto ...

A pacemaker regulates the body’s electrical system, which controls the heart rhythm. Pacemakers generally treat two types of arrhythmias - tachycardia, a heartbeat that’s too fast or bradycardia, a ...

A study of miniaturized, leadless pacemakers found that, due to their smaller size, they could provide a promising, short-term option for certain children with abnormally slow heartbeats. These ...

Wireless or leadless pacemakers, commonly implanted in adults, may be a safe and effective short-term option for children with slow heartbeats, according to new research published today in Circulation ...

In a key advance toward wireless, minimally invasive temporary pacemakers, researchers have made a thin silicon device that lays flat on the heart’s surface and regulates heartbeat using light (Nature ...

Doctors are calling a first-of-its kind wireless pacemaker a game changer, saying the newly-approved device will help keep heart patients alive. Barry Lawrence, a 77-year-old Orange County resident, ...

A new wireless pacemaker appears safe and feasible for use, potentially advancing the technology that cardiologists use to maintain heart rhythm in patients, according to results from a new clinical ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Each year, 200,000 people will undergo a surgery to have a pacemaker implanted. Most pacemakers last six to 10 years. The biggest problem with traditional ...

Pacemakers, relied upon by many patients with irregular heart rhythms, are not built for children. Scrambling up trees, hanging from monkey bars, and even the simple act of growing make the device ...

A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance over three months, bolstering evidence for this new pacemaker option. A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance ...
