Because the human heart requires only a small amount of electrical stimulation, researchers were able to shrink their ...

Learn more about the world's smallest pacemaker that's implanted in a non-invasive way, which can help newborn children who ...

The wires can become enveloped in scar tissue. So, when the wires are pulled out, that can potentially damage the heart muscle. That’s actually how Neil Armstrong died. He had a temporary pacemaker ...

Designed for patients who only need temporary pacing, the pacemaker simply dissolves after it’s no longer needed. All the ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe — and be non ...

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

We therefore recommend pacemaker implantation after cardiac surgery for patients who are pacemaker dependent after surgery and whose spontaneous rhythm does not recover by postoperative day 5.
