Deep within the heart’s right atrium lies the sinoatrial node, a tiny cluster of ...

Chinese scientists have achieved an important medical breakthrough by creating the world’s first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node, often called the heart’s master conductor. This tiny part of the ...

Last week, Abbott began the commercial launch of its new leadless pacemaker, which it believes is a historic development in the world of cardiac rhythm devices. Aveir DR is a better option than ...

The human heart is a highly complex pump made of muscle, complete with its own electric power system, supplying the energy and oxygen it needs to function. The heart’s pumping action is regulated by ...

The pacemaker is being reinvented. Originally, it was developed to remedy heart rhythm irregularities by use of electrical stimulation. The first pacemaker was implanted 66 years ago, in 1958. About ...

The heart may be small, but its rhythm powers life. When something throws that rhythm off—especially after surgery—it can become a race against time to restore balance. For decades, doctors have ...

Chinese researchers have successfully engineered a "biological pacemaker" in a petri dish, creating a sinoatrial node organoid that can be regulated by nerve cells to control the heartbeat, a ...

Pacemakers, relied upon by many patients with irregular heart rhythms, are not built for children. Scrambling up trees, hanging from monkey bars, and even the simple act of growing make the device ...

A New Smyrna Beach nurse suffered from a heart rhythm disorder that caused her to faint, until she received a "life-saving" high-tech pacemaker. The Micra AV pacemaker is a leadless device smaller ...

The FDA has approved Abbott Laboratories' ABT AVEIR dual chamber (DR) leadless pacemaker system, the world's first dual chamber leadless pacing system to treat abnormal or slow heart rhythms. Through ...

PORTLAND, Ore (KOIN) – On behalf of our sponsors at Abbott, we’re learning about how a medical breakthrough is transforming the way we treat abnormal heart rhythms and one Boston mother’s story shows ...

A pacemaker is a small, battery-powered device that controls the heartbeat. Our heartbeats are controlled by a highly efficient, biological electrical system that ensures our heart steadily pumps ...
