Treatment with a novel, minimally invasive brain pacemaker cut seizure frequency by at least 50% in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy, new research shows. The meta-analysis examined data ...

The pacemaker is being reinvented. Originally, it was developed to remedy heart rhythm irregularities by use of electrical stimulation. The first pacemaker was implanted 66 years ago, in 1958. About ...

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 ...

Single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers do not support atrial pacing or consistent atrioventricular synchrony. A dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system consisting of two devices implanted ...

Though a Northwestern-developed quarter-size dissolvable pacemaker worked well in pre-clinical animal studies, cardiac surgeons asked if it was possible to make the device smaller. To reduce the size ...

A team at Northwestern University (NU) has developed a pacemaker small enough to fit inside the tip of a syringe and be non-invasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

A novel leadless pacemaker designed for left bundle branch area pacing conferred successful pacing parameters at 1 month, but ...
