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 ...

Now doctors are testing a new version of these lifegivers. The novel design that’s being tested is 90% smaller than other pacemakers, comes all in one piece -- and doesn’t require surgery.

The Identity pacemaker models 5370 and 5376 feature AF management, a suite of therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities designed to manage pacemaker patients suffering from AF. This tool kit includes: ...

New features, especially with regard to lead design and geometry ... simple programming with clear steps to provide predictable pacemaker performance during the scan, should it be required ...

The Accent MRI pacemaker, with the Tendril MRI lead, is an MRI conditional system, offering safe performance of a full-body MRI scan on the patient using a 1.5 T (Tesla) field-strength MRI scanner.

Background: Conduction disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker implantation after heart surgery occur in about 1.5% of patients. Early pacemaker implantation may reduce morbidity and ...
