A noninvasive ultrasound device restored heart rhythm in animal models and engineered human heart cells, paving the way for ...

Engineers have taken their transient pacemaker and integrated it into a coordinated network of four soft, flexible, wireless wearable sensors and control units placed on different anatomically ...

Integrating sonogenetics with ultrasound technology, non-invasive pacemaker is designed to manage cardiac rhythm disorders ...

Imagine a heart patient with a pacemaker—one of the millions who rely on these tiny, implanted devices to keep their hearts beating steadily. While pacemakers save lives every day, their ability to ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- UCSF researchers have for the first time shown that an external optical pacemaker can be used in a vertebrate to control its heart rate. The model, which has been tested in zebrafish, ...

Two pacemakers in the brain work together in harmony to ensure that breathing occurs in a regular rhythm, according to new research. That cooperation provides critical backup during respiratory stress ...

Your heart has an internal pacemaker called the sinus node. It's a group of cells, located on top of your heart, that sends electrical signals into the heart and controls your heartbeat. Sometimes, ...

Defibrillators use electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rate, especially in cases of life threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, while pacemakers use low-energy electrical pulses to ...

Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker—a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it's no longer needed.
