In a proposed device, two of the new chips would be embedded in a chassis located outside the head. Each chip could monitor electrical activity from 64 electrodes located into the brain while ...

Cardiac pacemakers are battery-dependent, where the pacing leads are prone to introduce valve damage and infection. In addition, complete pacemaker retrieval is necessary for battery replacement.

A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance over three months, bolstering evidence for this new pacemaker option. A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance ...

A new wireless pacemaker appears safe and feasible for use, potentially advancing the technology that cardiologists use to maintain heart rhythm in patients, according to results from a new clinical ...

Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth. Just like ultrasound converts electrical voltage into pressure or sound, we can engineer similar materials onto ...

In a key advance toward wireless, minimally invasive temporary pacemakers, researchers have made a thin silicon device that lays flat on the heart’s surface and regulates heartbeat using light (Nature ...

This week Cambridge Consultants unveiled a semi-leadless pacemaker it designed for start-up EBR Systems. The device, called Wireless Cardiac Stimulation system (WiCS), includes a leadless electrode ...

A study of miniaturized, leadless pacemakers found that, due to their smaller size, they could provide a promising, short-term option for certain children with abnormally slow heartbeats. These ...

A wireless or leadless (without wires) pacemaker was implanted in a select group of children with irregular heart rhythms during a 5-year period (2016-2021). Smaller catheters that allow easier ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: Do people with pacemakers need to be concerned about wireless devices? — B.L. ANSWER: In most cases, there is very little risk to a pacemaker from wireless devices. However, there are ...

A pacemaker regulates the body’s electrical system, which controls the heart rhythm. Pacemakers generally treat two types of arrhythmias - tachycardia, a heartbeat that’s too fast or bradycardia, a ...

Q: Do people with pacemakers need to be concerned about wireless devices? – B.L. A: In most cases, there is very little risk to a pacemaker from wireless devices. However, there are some exceptions, ...
