A pacemaker inside the heart has very little room for anything extra. Yet its largest burden is often the battery, which can run out years before a patient’s need for pacing ends. A University of ...

A battery-free pacemaker can harvest energy from each heartbeat, potentially allowing future devices to work far longer ...

If your heart beats too slowly or gets out of rhythm, a pacemaker can send an electrical pulse to that muscle and get it back on track. To do that, pacemakers need generators with batteries, and ...

Scientists have found a way to pick the best pacemaker for each patient, potentially making them last years longer. Researchers at the University of Leeds, Université Grenoble Alpes and University ...

"Mechanical and electrical energy are linked and can be exchanged back and forth," said lead study author Babak Nazer, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington in ...

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 ...

Pacemakers have a problem — and that’s not something you want to hear about a medical device which literally helps a person’s heart to continue to beat normally. The problem, simply, is that they rely ...
