Clinical pacemakers save lives. Implanted in patients’ hearts to keep them beating regularly, the devices are an important part of modern healthcare in the fight against potentially fatal arrhythmias.
Atrial fibrillation – a form of irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia – leads to more than 454,000 hospitalizations and nearly 160,000 deaths in the United States each year. Globally, it is estimated ...
Millions of people have benefited from pacemakers since the first one was implanted in 1958, but the basics facets of the design have remained unchanged. These devices are still battery-operated, with ...

Scientists have found a way to pick the best pacemaker for each patient, potentially making them last years longer. Researchers at the University of Leeds, Université Grenoble Alpes and University ...
A healthy heart beats 60 to 100 beats per minute, but when that rate slows down, patients require a pacemaker. Experts say traditional versions are bulky and need two ...

Researchers have examined long-term outcomes in patients who received pacemaker implantations after transcatheter aortic valve replacement through their groin. The result showed no significant ...
Engineers are developing a new kind of pacemaker, which envelops the heart and uses precise targeting capabilities to bypass pain receptors and reduce patient discomfort. Atrial fibrillation -- a form ...
