Northwestern researchers have developed the world’s smallest pacemaker, which with its dissolvable nature allows it to be inserted non-invasively into patients’ bodies. Fit into the tip of a syringe, ...

Pacemakers are vital, life-saving technology held back by their limited battery life, but the solution to that problem may ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

Deep within the heart’s right atrium lies the sinoatrial node, a tiny cluster of ...

Following a patient death, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning users of certain Medtronic pacemakers about a rare battery problem that could cause the devices to quickly lose power and ...

The heart beats with a regular rhythm to pump blood throughout the body. These mechanical actions require the highly coordinated efforts of different types of cardiomyocytes (CMs) such as atrial, ...
