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 ...

AVIM is a pacing algorithm incorporated into dual-chamber pacemakers to treat hypertension ... blood pressure after 6 months compared with control patients. Another pivotal trial run in ...

Relatively weak magnets in consumer products have always posed some risk, usually very low, to the function of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). However, stronger ...
