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 ...

This experimental prototype is the smallest in the world. It can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves when it is no longer needed. Its size is very suitable for babies with heart defects.

The risks and cost of pacemaker implantation should be weighed ... We therefore chose a consecutive group of 920 patients to serve as control, and collected their ECG data retrospectively.

These light pulses guide the heart’s rhythm without the need for invasive wires or external control boxes. Traditional temporary pacemakers involve a tangle of wires that exit the body through ...

The breakthrough involves fitting patients with a pacemaker or mini- defibrillator which is modified with a microchip. The patient is also given a mobile phone- sized unit which can be worn ...

In such cases, surgeons now must often sew a wire onto the heart that’s attached to an external box that delivers a current to control the heart’s rhythm. When the pacemaker is no longer ...

To minimize these risks, the researchers sought to develop a dissolvable pacemaker, which they introduced in Nature Biotechnology in 2021. By varying the composition and thickness of materials in the ...
