University of Washington researchers designed a leadless pacemaker that charges partially using energy from a patient’s heartbeat. The current version may only gain 10% of its energy from a beating ...

A battery-sized, wireless pacemaker was safe and effective in early testing. The smaller leadless device may reduce the risk of complications that occur with traditional pacemakers. A new small, ...

A system and method for passively testing a cardiac pacemaker in which sensing signal amplitudes and lead impedance values are measured and stored while the pacemaker is functioning in its programmed ...

Background: T-wave alternans (TWA) is a useful method for identifying patients who are at risk for sudden cardiac death. We aimed to determine the effects of different pacing modes on test results and ...

Heart pacemakers and other implantable medical devices must be free of even minor defects, particularly in the titanium casing that holds and protects the electronics. Ranging in thickness from 0.15 ...

The diagnosis of recurrent syncope in patients with pacemakers (PM) is quite challenging and the etiology of syncope is often multifactorial. To portray the mechanism of syncope in PM patients, we ...

MINNEAPOLIS - The world's smallest pacemaker is now being tested in humans and it was created by Minnesota based Medtronic. Because it is so small, implanting the device is minimally invasive as well.

Mike Cassidy, far left, poses as an investor while biomedical engineering students Elizabeth Mercer and Johnny Zhang make a pitch on their device in the undergraduate division of the Purdue University ...
