When a pacemaker's battery gets low, the whole implant typically has to be surgically replaced. Scientists are therefore developing a noninvasive battery recharging system, which utilizes externally ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists say they've taken a first step toward creating a pacemaker that runs on the heart's own energy rather than batteries. Pacemakers are electronic devices implanted to regulate your heartbeat ...

Tara Sellers, administrator of The Surgery Center of Key West (Fla.), an ASCOA facility, discusses seven steps to bring pacemaker generator insertions and changes to your surgery center. 1. Recruit a ...

A pacemaker is a battery-operated device placed in body to produce electrical pulses that cause the heart to beat at a normal rate. Recent research studies have described the use of energy harvesting ...

Pacemakers are used to manage heart arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats). These conditions can either manifest as tachycardia (a rapid heartbeat exceeding the normal resting rate) or bradycardia (a ...

Prior investigations have established the accuracy of the algorithm during "simultaneous" manual and automatic measurements. [9] For this study, the automatic and manual measurements were compared ...
