A made-in-Calgary 4D heart model is transforming treatment for heart failure patients having a specialized pacemaker inserted, called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In a clinical trial, ...

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 ...

Smaller than a grain of rice, new pacemaker is particularly suited to the small, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects. Tiny pacemaker is paired with a small, soft, flexible ...

Dr. Burkhoff will summarize the robust body of pilot study clinical evidence demonstrating sustained and reproducible systolic blood pressure reductions associated with delivery of AVIM Therapy, along ...

As we witness the rapid advancement of technology, lifesaving devices such as connected pacemakers and other medical implants are also evolving. However, with this evolution comes the susceptibility ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Roughly one percent of infants are born with heart defects every year. The majority of these cases only require a temporary ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...
