New research using Medtronic technology suggests that leadless pacemakers may be an effective option in children. The research ran today in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association. It presented leadless pacemakers like the Medtronic Micra as a safe and effective short-term option for children with slow heartbeats. Children with slow […]

This could be the battery-free solution for pacemakers
A new energy storage system charges itself using ions from inside the human body – providing an exciting alternative to traditional batteries used in pacemakers, according to researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Connecticut. Researchers at the universities developed a bio-friendly energy storage system called a biological supercapacitor; […]
