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 ...

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 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 ...

A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance over three months, bolstering evidence for this new pacemaker option, according to results from a multi-center, international clinical ...

Scientists report positive results in early testing of a wireless pacemaker that's placed in the heart instead of being connected to it via wires from the upper chest. There are still many questions ...

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 ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – Each year, 200,000 people will undergo a surgery to have a pacemaker implanted. Most pacemakers last six to 10 years. The biggest problem with traditional ...

Researchers examined real-world registry data following Medtronic’s Micra wireless pacemaker, including from 63 children spanning ages 4 to 21. (Paul Campbell/Getty Images) A study of miniaturized, ...

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 ...

Smaller catheters to place the leadless pacemaker may expand its use as an option for more children with slow heartbeats, according to a new study in the Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology ...

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 ...
