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 ...

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.

Doctors are calling a first-of-its kind wireless pacemaker a game changer, saying the newly-approved device will help keep heart patients alive. Barry Lawrence, a 77-year-old Orange County resident, ...

Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth. Just like ultrasound converts electrical voltage into pressure or sound, we can engineer similar materials onto ...

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 ...

The FDA has approved the first wireless heart pacemaker. The Micra Transcatheter system is a self-contained device. It's just 1-inch long, it doesn't have wires and it's implanted by a flexible tube ...
