The federal government approved a new therapy yesterday for thousands of congestive heart failure patients: a novel pacemaker-like device that could help their struggling hearts beat more normally.

While modern pacemakers have proven an invaluable and lifesaving medical tool, the way they regulate the pace of the heart differs from the varying beat of the organ in a healthy individual.

A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the heart's naturally irregular beat is set to be trialled in New Zealand heart patients this year. A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the ...

WASHINGTON (AP) – The government Tuesday approved a groundbreaking new therapy for thousands of congestive heart failure patients, a novel pacemaker-like device that could help their struggling hearts ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden demonstrates that a change in the ECG wave called the QRS prolongation is associated with a higher rate of heart-failure mortality. According to the ...

For people who are having irregular heartbeats, a pacemaker is usually the recommended device to solve this health problem. As its name suggests, it regulates the heartbeat's pace to maintain the ...

Scientists have designed a temporary, battery-free pacemaker that can be broken down by the patient’s body when its work is done, the latest advance in the emerging field of bioelectronics. In a paper ...

A new study published in the Journal of Physiology on November 14, 2019, reports the development of a radically different type of cardiac pacemaker which could change the prognosis of patients with ...

Pacemakers and defibrillators have a growing use in pediatrics and in patients with congenital heart disease, but they present unique problems and implications for their implantation and follow-up.

Using brain circuits made in silicon, scientists have alleviated symptoms of heart failure by reinstating the body's natural heart rhythm. This study holds great potential for designing more effective ...

A revolutionary pacemaker that re-establishes the heart’s naturally irregular beat is set to be trialled in New Zealand heart patients this year, following successful animal trials. “Currently, all ...

There are unique technical issues that must be considered with the implantation of devices in small patients and those with CHD. Although most centers report low complication rates of complications in ...
