Researchers at Northwestern University just found a way to make a temporary pacemaker that’s controlled by light—and it’s smaller than a grain of rice. A study on the new device, published last week ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe—and be noninvasively injected into the body. Although it can work with hearts of all ...

Smaller than a grain of rice, new pacemaker is particularly suited to the small, fragile hearts of newborn babies with congenital heart defects. Tiny pacemaker is paired with a small, soft, flexible ...

CHICAGO — They run on the sun. Solar panels power our homes, yards and even our cars. And now local researchers are using similar technology to power a human heart. The tiny device has captured the ...

The world’s tiniest pacemaker — smaller than a grain of rice — could help save babies born with heart defects, say scientists. The miniature device can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves after ...

A pacemaker modified for newborns' tiny bodies safely and effectively stabilized their heart rhythms for up to two years, according to new research published in Circulation: Arrhythmia and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The tiny pacemaker sits next to a single grain of rice on a fingertip. The device is so small that it can be non-invasively injected into the body via a syringe. Northwestern University engineers have ...
