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. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Researchers at the ...

Millions of people have benefited from pacemakers since the first one was implanted in 1958, but the basics facets of the design have remained unchanged. These devices are still battery-operated, with ...

An experimental leadless pacemaker is able to capture enough energy from the heart to partially power the device, according to results from a new proof-of-concept study. The prototype device harvested ...
