GUADALAJARA, Mexico — "Somatic reprogramming is a strategy in which we are not modifying a single part of the cell, but we are reprogramming a normal cell to transform it into a pacemaker cell," said ...

Recycled pacemakers can function as well as new devices, according to a new study. These used and reconditioned devices have the potential to increase access to pacemaker therapy in low- and ...

Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

Last week, Abbott began the commercial launch of its new leadless pacemaker, which it believes is a historic development in the world of cardiac rhythm devices. Aveir DR is a better option than ...

CHICAGO, IL—Reconditioned pacemakers carry the same low infection rate as new devices out to 90 days, according to preliminary data from the international My Heart Your Heart trial. The findings ...

Chinese scientists have achieved an important medical breakthrough by creating the world’s first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node, often called the heart’s master conductor. This tiny part of the ...

Patients who require a new permanent pacemaker after TAVI do just as well with leadless devices out to 2 years as they do with transvenous pacemakers, according to an analysis of real-world data from ...

With heart failure, the heart becomes enlarged and its electrical systems become stretched. This interferes with how the parts of the heart coordinate to contract and pump blood, making it inefficient ...

Your heart's job is to keep your pulse steady to pump blood throughout your body. Sometimes your heart rate is slower when you're relaxing, and sometimes it's faster when you're exercising or stressed ...

Heart problems are nothing new. Humans have been fascinated by electrocardiography since the era of Hippocrates (via St. Luke's Hospital Cardiology Department). With each passing century, medicine's ...

Defibrillators and pacemakers help the heart maintain a regular rhythm. Defibrillators deliver a shock if the heart goes into arrhythmia. Pacemakers use electrical impulses to keep the heart from ...

An increasing number of reports suggest that cardiac arrhythmias are frequent clinical features of COVID-19. A New York-based team of researchers explored the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the ...
