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 ...

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 ...

A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance over three months, bolstering evidence for this new pacemaker option. A dual-chamber wireless pacemaker provides reliable performance ...

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 ...

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 at the University of Chicago have developed a new pacemaker that’s thinner than a human hair, wireless and operated entirely by light from an optic fiber. The non-invasive device could help ...

This picture obtained on April 2, 2025 shows a pacemaker next to a single grain of rice on a finger. The world's tiniest pacemaker, a temporary heartbeat regulator smaller than a grain of rice that ...

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.

Here's a recent TED talk that's been making the rounds thanks to a pick-up by MedGadget. In this presentation Eric Giler explains how a "near-to-market" technology coming out of MIT could truly enable ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: Do people with pacemakers need to be concerned about wireless devices? — B.L. ANSWER: In most cases, there is very little risk to a pacemaker from wireless devices. However, there are ...
