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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Every year more than one million people receive a pacemaker. Until now, leadless versions were only available for 20% of these patients. However, thanks to an international consortium led by Amsterdam ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 patient at St. Francis Hospital in Rosyln, New York, Carol Kasyjanski, 61, has become the first recipient of St. Jude Medical's wireless-enabled pacemaker, which the FDA approved in July. Kasyjanksi ...

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 ...
