Dr. Eric Rytkin discusses the clinical need for—and significant advantages of—his team’s recently unveiled millimeter-scale, ...

Abbott today announced data from an acute clinical feasibility study of its Aveir Conduction System Pacing (CSP) system.

Engineers at Northwestern University developed a pacemaker that can fit inside the tip of a syringe for easier implantation.

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 ...

An Arizona mom shares her health journey in an effort to get more women to prioritize their heart health. Comments from ...

Smaller than a grain of rice and controlled by light shone through the skin, the pacemaker generates power and squeezes the heart’s muscles after injection through a stint. The device showed it could ...

For decades, doctors have relied on temporary pacemakers to stabilize the heart during critical recovery periods. These life-saving devices, however, often come with a tradeoff: invasive surgery ...

Rogers, who led the device development. “There’s a crucial need for temporary pacemakers in the context of pediatric heart surgeries, and that’s a use case where size miniaturization is ...

Pacemakers are small implants that help the heart maintain a normal beat via electrical pulses. Temporary pacemakers are often required after heart surgery or while waiting for a permanent pacemaker.

When the device on the chest detects irregular heartbeats it emits pulses of light into the chest that activate the pacemaker, delivering electrical stimulation to the heart. The device is ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published ...
